Highlands only eye clinic closed

Letters, Normal

I HAVE a chronic eye infection which is threatening both my eyes.
But I am not able to get my usual eye drops at the CBM-funded eye clinic at the Goroka Base Hospital because the clinic has been closed.
I call on the management of Goroka Base Hospital to tell me and other patients why the only eye clinic in the highlands region is closed.
If I were told to go to the hospital’s adult outpatient department for treatment, I am sure I will not be treated properly because it does not have the equipment and medication unlike the CBM-funded eye clinic.
I urge Goroka Base Hospital management to reopen the eye clinic.
