The Kalona Aid Post in Small Malaita will resume normal health services after a year without service.
The resumption of essential service comes after a nurse serving at Afio Area Health station willingly availed himself to serve at the aid post and with the availability of medical drugs.
A nurse serving at Afio Area Health station, Cliff Sanau said the nurse arrived at Kalona Aid Post last week.
He said the nurse will spare this week to prepare the aid post before opening its services for people next week.
“The clinic will commence normal services on May 18, 2026. This week the nurse will pause the service upon his arrival last week to do preparation and setup in the clinic,” he said.
Early this month, Kilu’ufi Hospital distributed 15 boxes of essential medical treatments to clinics in the Southern region of Malaita Province.
In the meantime, he calls on communities in surrounding catchment areas of Kalona Aid Post to co-operate and work closely with the nurse at Kalona for the betterment of the clinic.
He said by working together, they can improve health services and provide best services to the people.
“So, I call upon those communities who stay within Kalona NAP catchment areas to co-operate and work closely to improve our clinic, and meet the very best health service ever that we need for our people,” he said.
The paper understands that Kalona Aid Post has been without health services for one full year, after the nurse serving left to do further studies.
