DEAR EDITOR, I thank the Hon Member for the West Honiara Constituency and the community there for donating 20 rubbish bins to the National Referral Hospital.
I understand the donation came about after an appeal from the NRH after receiving complaints from patients and concerned citizens.
The doctors, nurses and administrative staff at the NRH work tirelessly to care for the sick and injured, often in difficult working conditions and with relatively few funds given the responsibility as the main referral hospital for a growing national population said to be about 650,000.
In such circumstances, I always try to thank the friends of the NRH.
Yours sincerely
Frank Short
