Minister for Health Rosy Akbar says assessment reports on the Qamea Health facility that was destroyed in a landslide during Tropical Depression 04F has been completed.
Akbar highlighted this in Parliament after Jilila Kumar asked the question on what were the actions taken by the Ministry with regards to the landslide.
Akbar says the Qamea health centre and three staff quarters were totally destroyed along with the school and about 20 houses.
She says after the landslide the staff were evacuated to the Taveuni Hospital and a Heath team was immediately deployed to Qamea island.
Akbar says a temporary health centre was setup at the Vadravadra settlement and additional health supplies was dispatched from Suva to Qamea.
She adds patients who required further treatment were referred to either Tavueni or labasa hospital.
She says plans are in place for a new health facility.
Akbar was then questioned by Opposition member Niko Nawaikula on when can the people of Qamea expect the new complex to be completed at Qamea.
She says it will be open soon as the assessment reports will be presented to the National Disaster Management Office and the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development.
