People of Labasa will now be able to access the services of a brand new Ambulance worth $154,029 which was handed over today to the Labasa Divisional Hospital.

The Labasa hospital had one ambulance that catered for the needs of the people but over the years it had deteriorated in condition.

The fully equipped, brand-new, 4WD Ambulance was donated by the Government of Japan, through its Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects Programme.

Speaking at the hand over Assistant Minister for Health and Medical Services Alex O’Connor says one of the fundamental and most needed commodities is transportation, and ambulances are an integral part of the service.

He says effective, reliable and dependable 24-hour ambulance service is crucial to all medical services.

O’Connor says recently they have received many complaints regarding the ambulance services.

He says ultimately some were beyond their control however with this new fleet of ambulance vehicles they hope to provide and also cut down the response time whilst at the same time deliver the much needed services to the people of Fiji.
