In spite of that, the health facility has been neglected for over 20 years with no running water, no electricity, leaky roofs, rusty medical equipment, only one delivery bed and no security for both staff and patients.
Officer-in-charge of the Aseki Health Centre, Sr Mathilda Maborai, described their issues as “10 out of 10” until Digicel Morobe staff stepped in to install a solar water pump at a value of K20,000.
The project was officially opened and handed over by Digicel Morobe’s general manager, Shaunna Imatana, on Saturday, the 19th of August.
