THE Premier of Western Province has welcomed the Chinese Medical Team who touched down in Gizo on Tuesday this week.
The team will be supporting the Western Province Health and Medical team who are currently reaching out to communities affected by the recent severe tropical cyclone.
In his welcome remarks, Billy Veo said the team’s outreach and professional expertise will greatly contribute towards improving the wellbeing of people and strengthening the local health service.
He said Western Province is honoured to welcome the Chinese Medical team to be part of the recovery processes.
“It is with great pleasure and honour that I warmly welcome the visiting medical team from the People’s Republic of China [ PRC] to western province.
“One behalf of the western provincial government, our health authorities, community leaders, and the people of western province, I extend our sincere appreciation for your visit and your commitment to providing medical services, consultations, and support to our people and communities
“Your presence here reflects the spirit of humanitarian cooperation, compassion, and partnership. At a time when many of our communities continue to face health challenges, especially following recent disasters and ongoing service demands, your assistance come as great encouragement to our people,” Veo said.
He said Western Province values the partnership and solidarity demonstrated through the arrangement and beyond the medical services the team will provide, their engagement also promotes knowledge sharing, professional collaboration, and stronger international friendship.
Veo said the visiting medical team will strengthen the workforce given that Western province is geographically dispersed, and access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many rural communities.
“I would also like to acknowledge our health workers, provincial authorities, partners, and organizers who have worked tirelessly to coordinate this important visit. Your dedication and cooperation are highly appreciated.
“To our honoured guest from the PRC medical team, we hope your time in Western Province will be productive, meaningful and enjoyable,” he said.
Veo encourages the Chinese Medical Team to experience the hospitality, culture, and beauty of Western province while carrying out their important work.
“Once again, welcome to Western Province and thank you for your commitment to serving humanity,” he said.
