Tukavesi Villagers are calling on the Ministry of Health to refurbish the Tukavesi Health Centre.
Villager Mikaele Vosayaco says it’s been ten years since there has been any maintenance done at the Health Centre.
Speaking to Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama during a talanoa session in Tukavesi, Vosayaco says the Health Centre is currently in a bad state.
In response, SDMO Savusavu Dr Tiko Saumalua concurred that the health centre hasn’t had a makeover for years.
He adds, currently there are some extension works being done to cater for the increasing number of patients.
Dr Saumalua says the number of patients is disproportionate to the number of staff working at the Health Centre.
He adds, the refurbishment of the Health Centre is in their plans.
