The CWM Hospital's Children's Outpatients and the Outpatients Wards have been closed.

Notices put up at the hospital said that due to the strike, emergency cases will be of top priority including children aged 5 years and below.

Three senior nurses are based at the Accident and Emergency Unit compared to four during normal shifts.

The nurses still at work are now doing 12 hour shifts compared to the normal eight hours.

It has also been confirmed that they have joined the Accident and Emergency Unit and the Outpatients Unit. 7 nurses are working at the Maternity Unit which is only a third of the total number of nurses who are supposed to be at the unit during the shift.

Interim Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama is currently at the CWM Hospital assessing the situation. He said that he will speak to us after his visit to the hospitals.
