Residents of Nakasi are urging the government to extend the operating hours of the Nakasi Health Centre to 24/7, so they don’t have to travel to CWM Hospital.
This concern was raised during a budget consultation with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad, held in Davuilevu, Nakasi.
A resident also raised his frustration over the misuse of ambulance services, claiming that the ambulance is hardly seen parked at the Centre for more than two and a half hours a day.
He stressed the importance of having an ambulance on standby as emergencies such as heart attacks can occur at any time.
We have sent questions to the Ministry of Health.
