Solomon Islands: The CMCC to bring a resolution aimed at building totally new health facilities in the country.
It was relayed tonight, Saturday, in a broadcast by the SIBC that the Core Ministerial Coordinating Committee (CMCC) within the Prime Minister’s Office will bring a cabinet paper of resolutions to the Cabinet for consideration and commitment to the 2020 Budget.
Quoting in full the news it said, quote:
“The resolutions were outcomes of a recent meeting with the Ministry of Health Medical Services, MHMS, and the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs, MWYCFA.
“THE CMCC followed up on MHSM status, plans and cost implications regarding country’s health system, but more specifically, plans to deal with closed clinics and health facilities.
“During the discussions MHMS presented, there are a total of 408 health facilities throughout the country, 56 of which are currently closed for health services.
“It also noted that 24 health facilities are reclassified as AHC L1, and 18 health facilities reclassified as AHC L2.
“The resolution emphasised, all closed health facilities around the country be redeveloped with the view to building totally new facilities.”
I greatly welcome this news, as I am confident all in the Solomon Islands will as well, and I very much hope to be able in the not too distance future to report on progress with re-vitalisation of the much needed health facilities.
Yours sincerely
Frank Short
