Ribat appeals to govt to provide better health facilities

THERE has to be plans for better health facilities in the country for the benefit of ordinary citizens, Cardinal Sir John Ribat says.
Sir John said this would enable citizens who could not afford to go overseas for medical treatment to receive it in the country.
“I want to appeal to our Government, we have been a nation for over 40 years and one of the issues for us is health,” he said. “Health is an important asset for all of us.
“I would make this appeal to the government to make plans that would really help us to establish better hospitals here,” he said.
Sir John was responding to the declining health sector in the country.
He said hospitals should be able to treat heart disease and other diseases which were being treated overseas.
