Staff harassment forces closure of health centre

A week ago, a group of young men pushed a bush knife through the window of a staff house at midnight while the family was asleep.

Staff say this was the fourth incident recorded since last year.

Officer-in-charge Sai Haguai says the lives of his staff are at risk and the facility will remain closed until an amicable understanding is reached between the locals, the Western Highlands Provincial Health Authority and the SDA Health Services to protect the welfare of the staff and the facilities as well.
