MECTG commits to expanding rural health services in the province

BY SAMIE WAIKORI

The Asilaua-led Malaita Economic Cooperation for Transformation Government (MECTG) of Malaita Province is committed to expanding rural health services in the province.

Premier Elijah Asilaua announced this on Monday last week, highlighting it as one of the key initiatives of his government for the final period of 2024/2025.

He stated that the focus of his government is to expand healthcare services to remote areas, ensuring that every Malaitan has access to quality healthcare.

He also emphasized that mobile health clinics and telemedicine services are vital to bridging the health gap that rural Malaitans face daily.

The Malaita provincial government has made significant contributions to health development and improvement in the province over the past years, primarily through the PCDF program.

Since the Ramohia-led MART government, MPG has built rural health clinics in various parts of the province, including Manaoba Rural Clinic on Manaoba Island in the Lau Lagoon and Gwounatolo Clinic at Foia in Baegu Asifola.

The most recent rural clinic project was completed during the Suidani-led MARA government at Ote in Ward 22, Asi-meuri, Small Malaita.

These clinics have since been providing much-needed healthcare services to people and communities across Malaita Province.
