The newly refurbished Sigatoka Hospital laboratory will be officially opened next Monday.
Ministry of Health confirms the approximate cost of the refurbishment is $60,000.
The Ministry says the lab is designed in line with the standards of the Fiji Laboratory Quality Management Systems.
They say that the refurbishment of the entire laboratory and the establishment of a Tuberculosis microscopy space will foster the delivery of more efficient health services at the Sigatoka Hospital.
This project has been made possible through the support of the Korea International Cooperation Agency through the Capacity Strengthening of Tuberculosis Control Services in Fiji program.
The 4th Edition of National TB Manual will also be launched to complement the opening of refurbished Sigatoka Hospital.
