THE Director of Health and Medical Services in Western Province has welcomed the arrival of a Chinese Medical Team, describing the deployment as a significant boost to healthcare delivery in the province.
Dr. Dickson Boara said the team brings with it specialised medical expertise that is expected to greatly benefit the people of Western Province, particularly in areas where medical services have been limited due to shortages in human resources.
He said the visiting medical professionals will help provide services that were previously unavailable at local health facilities, improving access to specialised care for communities across the province.
“The arrival of the Chinese Medical Team is timely and important for our health sector. Their expertise will complement the work of our local health workers and help address some of the service gaps we have been facing,” Boara said.
In addition to supporting healthcare delivery, he said it is an opportunity for local medical personnel to learn from the visiting team through hands-on collaboration and knowledge sharing during their stay.
Boara said Western Province Health and Medical Services staff are expected to work closely alongside the Chinese team, gaining valuable experience and skills that will strengthen local capacity in the long term.
He said the medical team will spend one week supporting staff at Gizo Hospital and assisting outreach efforts in cyclone-impacted communities across the province.
“Their work is expected to provide much-needed medical attention to residents still recovering from the effects of recent severe weather events,” Boara said.
