Sape Private Medical clinic strives to improve health care access in rural areas

BY LORETTA BRIGIDIA MANELE

ALTHOUGH we offer affordable fees, we are also committed to offering free medical care to the elderly and those with disabilities so that they too can access the quality health care we provide.

The above was expressed to the paper yesterday by Sape Private Medical Clinic owner, Dr Paul Bosawai Popora who hails from Sape village in North Guadalcanal.

Moreover, he voiced that their aim is to improve health care access in their rural communities.

Speaking of communities, Dr Popora also stated that some of the community services they provide are the provision of small scholarships for disadvantaged families and individuals, free and discounted consultations for geriatric and pediatric groups, 50% discount for NCDs (non-communicable diseases) consultations and free consultations for cancer patients.

He noted that the reason for the huge discount on NCDs consultations is to help the government fight against the increasing trend of the NCDs affecting the country.

Dr Popora furthered that the clinic management is willing to work with any donor partner to implement water and sanitation projects suitable for communities that are lacking quality water supply.
