43 Solomon Islands nurses leave for Vanuatu
Quoting the Solomon Star newspaper – 8 October 2019
“THE SECOND batch of nurses, 43 in total left the country on Monday to take up new jobs in Vanuatu.
“They are being recruited by the Vanuatu Government.
“Most of them will spend two years under their contracts, working in various clinics and hospitals around Vanuatu.
They will join the 28 nurses that were recruited in July this year.
“The majority of the 43 were senior and long serving nurses at the National Referral Hospital (NRH).
“Their departure has left a huge gap for the medical service in the country.
“Speaking to this paper prior to their departure yesterday, one nurses Lovelyn Justus, who used to work at the NRH’s Emergency Unit, said most of them are senior and experienced nurses.
“We have signed up for the Vanuatu recruitment because of the good package provided by the Vanuatu government,” Justice said.”
