Patients expect professionalism at all times - Health Minister
Minister for Health and Medical Services Doctor Ifereimi Waqainabete

While I acknowledge your hard work, I want to remind you that you should be very professional with your work which will eventually meet the expectation of the patients as they look upon us.

Those are the comments of Minister for Health and Medical Services Doctor Ifereimi Waqainabete as he reminded the health staff that quality and efficient healthcare services should be the priority of the Ministry.

He issued this challenge to the staff members of the Ministry while briefing them on the new initiatives that the Ministry will now embark on to provide a robust healthcare service delivery.

Doctor Waqainabete highlighted that his very first concern is the provision of comfortable workstations for the staff so that they can discharge their duties diligently and efficiently.

He says as senior managers of the Ministry, they must ensure that the health facilities are maintained and resourced well that attract people to choose the health department as their first choice of work.

Doctor Waqainabete also directed the health staff to further strengthen the health services as a way forward to address the needs of the people.

He says the Health Ministry has envisioned a major uplift in the health service provision with more staff positions to be created to increase the doctors and nurses to patient ratio to international accepted levels.
