Nausori Health Centre gets $700k Facelift
The $700,000 newly refurbished Nausori Health Centre will continue to cater more than 70,000 people from the provinces of Rewa, Tailevu and Naitasiri.
This was after the Minister for Health and Medical Services, Dr Ratu Antonio Lalabalavu, and New Zealand High Commissioner Charlotte Darlow, commissioned it on Friday.
The refurbishment works included six new doctors’ consultation rooms, a new waiting area, new pharmacy, laboratory unit, treatment room, foot care room, and an improved public sanitary facility.
This is the fifth project funded by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) in the Central Division, under its infrastructure development project of $1.9m.
“The other four facilities already opened are the Galoa Nursing Station, Makoi Health Centre, Wainibokasi Health Centre, and Korovou Health Centre. We are excited to note that health facilities in the west and north have also been identified for this project,” Dr Lalabalavu said.
“To complement this infrastructure improvement project, the ministry has added the refurbishment of the conference room and the new Command Centre for the Rewa subdivision. I believe that this would be the first major refurbishment
that the Nausori Health Centre has had since it was established in the 1950s.”
Dr Lalabalavu added it was a sig
nificant show of support and commitment from the NZ government to the health of the people of Fiji. Ms Darlow said the commissioning
meant a lot to her because she came from a medical background family and knew the importance of such facilities.
She is grateful the refurbished health centre will greatly benefit every Fijian that will visit the Centre.
