World Bank remains committed to working alongside government and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) to build a resilient health system.
Michael Mike World Bank (WB) health finance consultant in the Solomon Islands said this at the handover and launching of the Tulagi hospital last week.
He said Tulagi hospital was made possible through the Ministry of Finance & Treasury (MoFT), and MHMS in collaboration with WB to make the project successful.
“In coming years, people in Tulagi will no longer spend on travelling to Honiara for medical attention. This is your home, protect it well and take ownership of it,” said Mike.
He also acknowledged Government’s commitment to the health sector development when he delivered his remarks during the handover in Tulagi Friday last week.
He said the province not only benefits from the Hospital facility but also from a new out-board motor (OBM) engine to support the logistics of outreach programmes for health workers.
Mike said the Hospital would also have a waste management truck for safe waste disposal and new incinerators which is aligned with the Tourism sector.
“This improvement means more mothers will receive health care, more children will have access to essential services and your people will receive timely care,” he said.
