Hela Hospital

The upgrade of the A&E department is part of the return investment into the province by Oil Search and continued by Santos after the recent companies’ merger, and is demonstrative of the value of great public-private partnership in service delivery to the local people.

Santos Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Gallagher revealed that they have invested K8 million into the upgrade of the facility.

However, he said this will require cooperation from all stakeholders and commitment, hard work and dedication from his team at the hospital in Tari.

Speaking during the farewell ceremony for the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) in Tari last Thursday, Botten sincerely thanked the MSF team for their significant contribution in saving thousands of Hela lives over the eight years that they had been in the province.
