Malaita's Kilu'ufi Hospital closes door to the sick in protest of disrespectful attitude
Kilu'ufi Hospital on Malaita has closed its doors from yesterday for an indefinite period.
Acting Director- Malaita Provincial Health Doctor Rex Maukera says the action follows the disrespectful attitude towards hospital vehicle and staff on duty.
The doctor says last Friday, one of the hospital vehicles was attacked by a drunkard on the way to Auki town, and over the weekend, the hospital Vehicle was again stoned at Farau village, south road while rushing an emergency case to Kiluufi hospital.
He said in the truck were two doctors, a driver, a sick baby and a mother.
Dr Maukera says while police is carrying out investigation into the incidents, the hospital will be closed to make the community aware that such behaviour should not go unchecked.
He says communities must assist the Police.
