The Ministry of Health has filled 12 contract positions of lab technicians over the past year.
This, according to Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete in Parliament yesterday while responding to National Federation Party MP Lenora Qereqeretabua’s query about why there was no laboratory technician at the Levuka Hospital for two months.
“Some of them are currently on Kadavu and they are returning as we speak and these are recruitments that are able to be done during these difficult and challenging times,” he said.
“With the appropriation that’s given towards the Ministry of Health, as you’re also aware that the budget has increased and we’ve been able to do this.”
