The Central Islands Provincial (CIP) Government has been investing in both economic and social infrastructures through the Provincial Development Capacity Development Fund over the years.
Speaking during the handover of the $9.6 million renovated Tulagi Hospital over the weekend, Premier Micheal Salini said that his Government for Change and Advancement has made health one of its priority sectors and will continue to place more development emphasis on the health sector.
“These two cannot function in isolation. They complement each other in development. We need a healthy population to push economic development initiatives and for better and improved health service delivery to the people of Central Province and the nation as a whole,” said Salini.
He said that his government will continue to support the Provincial Health Division and the Minister of Health and the others wherever possible.
He stressed that the province has already earmarked plots of land on Tulagi for health staff housing to cope with the anticipated increase in the number of staff in the revitalisation of various clinical services to ensure the hospital reaches the hospital status following Health’s road delineation policy.
“I can assure everyone here including the Minister and the team from Honiara, that there will be strict rules enforced and security will be provided. I call on all my people to respect the rules and the security measures applied in this facility,” Salini said.
