DEAR EDITOR, having several times written to the local press drawing attention to the NRH acquiring a CT scan and for the training of operatives to use such a vital investigative machine, I am delighted that the Prime Minister has said the Solomon Islands Government must begin the process of seriously purchasing a CT scan for the country.
The PM’s comments came after having visited the Sony’s Medical Container Facility in Iwaki City, Fukushima, Japan recently.
The unavailability of a CT scan in the country is an issue that has been discussed over the years but a purchase has never materialized.
Yours sincerely
FRANK SHORT
