Assistant Minister for Health  Alex O’Connor has commenced health facility visits in the North this week.

Starting in Taveuni, the aim of the visit is to inspect the facilities and identify the immediate developments which will further strengthen the delivery of health services in the medical division.

O’Connor highlighted that some health facilities need urgent attention such as repairs and maintenance and he will certainly look into this.

Equitable and affordable health services remains the priority therefore nobody should be left behind and the Health Ministry looks forward to work closely with its stakeholder partners to achieve this.
