We had already made arrangements to have a nurse visit the Nabukaluka Health Centre.

This is the step taken by the General Manager Community Health Doctor Sala Saketa regarding the complaint lodged by the villagers of Waidina in the interior of Naitasiri who have said that there is currently no nurse servicing the Nabukaluka Health Centre ever since the nurse stationed there went on leave.

Mata ni tikina of Waidina, Koroi Siganivalu said although the nurse is on leave, the ministry should provide another nurse to replace her.

He said there has not being a nurse available at Nabukaluka is costly for them as they have been paying a lot of money to travel from Waidina to the Naqali Health Centre.

However, Dr Saketa said she had recently visited the Nabukaluka Health Centre and was aware that the nurse was on leave and therefore had made arrangements for a nurse from the Naqali Health Centre to visit the Health Centre weekly to see to the people of the Waidina tikina.
