Eric George, Provincial Permanent Secretary of Malaita Province, thanks the government of Japan for their partnership with the national and provincial governments to construct the new Kilu’ufi Hospital.
He made the acknowledgement during Japanese Ambassador to Solomon Islands, His Excellency Mr. Keiichi Higuchi’s visit to Malaita’s Premier Elijah Asilaua’s office last week.
With 92 percent completed, he said the hospital will not only benefit the people of Malaita in terms of providing medical treatment to sick patients, but it will also benefit the people of other provinces.
George said this newly constructed hospital which is almost completed will become one of the health centers providing services to the region in the Solomon Islands and to anyone who requires those services.
He also acknowledged the Japanese government for building the Auki Central Market for the people of Malaita Province.
George said it has now become the market hub for the people to bring agricultural produce and earn income to support their families and economic livelihood.
In the meantime, he also took the time to brief the Japanese Embassy on Malaita Province’s future plans.
He said the province is eyeing building a terminal to accommodate travelers to and from Malaita and constructing a retention wall starting from Auki Market to the Harbour Light shop in Auki.
