This was highlighted by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad while officiating at the inauguration of the new Nine Miles Pharmacy in Nakasi.

Professor Prasad says there will significant focus on health services in the upcoming 2023-2024 budget.

He says the pharmacy is a new addition to the services provided by the government for the people.
