The Kilu’ufi Hospital in Malaita Province is running smoothly with normal services to care for sick patients in the province after receiving fresh stock from the National Medical Supply Store.

Director of Nursing at Kilu’ufi Hospital, Richard Maegerea, told Island Sun Auki in an interview that they have just received medical supplies from the National Medical Supply Store.

He said every clinic in the province should have enough medical drugs and treatments, unless they need more.

“At the moment, our clinics in the province should have enough stock of medical treatments and drugs that they need. In the North, East, South, and Central. Unless there is a need for any clinic, then we’ll add it,” he said.

In the meantime, Maegerea stressed that no suspects have been arrested yet in regards to the missing life-saving medicines at Kilu’ufi Hospital Pharmacy in August 2025.

He said the Ministry of Health and Medical Services confirmed an ongoing investigation into the disappearance of essential medical drugs at Kilu’ufi Hospital in Malaita Province.

When asked if any suspects have been arrested for the missing medical supplies, Maegerea stressed that until now, no arrests have been made, as they have handed the case over to the police for investigation.

He mentioned that while they suspect some people, no arrests have been made yet.

Island Sun understands that the Minister of the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Dr. Paul Bosawai, said that they are treating the case seriously.
