The consignment will benefit 138 healthcare facilities.

“Our healthcare facilities are well-stocked and prepared to meet your medical needs. I encourage everyone to visit these centers for timely and effective care,” he stated.

Deputy Governor Hon. Evans Kapkea joined the Governor in commending healthcare providers for their dedication, urging residents to register with the Social Health Authority (SHA) to enjoy free healthcare services.

“By registering with SHA, you can access vital medical services at no cost. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity,” Kapkea said.

These include hiring additional healthcare staff to meet the operational demands of local facilities.
