Minister for Health and Medical Services and Member of Parliament for North Guadalcanal constituency, Dr Paul Bosawai Popora appeals to citizens across the country to celebrate this Christmas with dignity and safety.
He made the statement when speaking on the debate of the Sine Die Motion in parliament early this week, to lessen burden on health workers as they will continue to serve the country during this festive season.
Bosawai said, while many will celebrate this Christmas with families, health workers will remain on duty in facilities across the country.
“With that, let me ask our good people across the country to celebrate with dignity and safety, and not to burden our health services through accident-related cases that relate to alcohol.
“Christmas is not a day to drink a lot of beer, but it should be a time to reflect, celebrate, and moving forward to develop our beloved country, Solomon Islands,” the minister said.
He acknowledged all health workers for their great sacrifice this Christmas to save people’s health across the country.
Bosawai said that despite ongoing challenges, they must remain committed to strengthening the ministry and delivering quality health care services to all Solomon Islanders.
He also thanked partner ministries and development partners for their collaboration throughout the year.
