A site in Nasinu has been identified to house the 100-bed specialty hospital that will be funded by the Indian government.
Dr Atonio Lalabalavu shared this in Parliament on Monday, stating that India had reaffirmed its commitment to the Pacific region with major projects planned for the 14 countries of the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation (FIPIC).
“With the hospital, the government of India is going to provide equipment and human resources for the operations of the hospital for a period of time,” he said.
“At the moment, Sir, the land has been identified at Nasinu and the team from India is expected to arrive soon to begin the actual work.
“In terms of the commencement of the project, it will start most likely mid-next year.”
