Manuopo clinic, Reef Islands, Temotu Province is better closed off and vacated suggests Richard Bapo, Balipa Community High School Principal.
Watching the clinic deteriorate over the years, Mr Bapo says its condition now is unfit even to house sick patients let alone nurses work under.
Principal Bapo urgently calls on the Temotu provincial health authority to urgently visit the clinic and decide its fate.
He says the clinic’s isolation should not be an excuse for the government to neglect its people on the Reef Islands.
Manuopo area health clinic is situated on Lomlom Islands in Reef Islands of Temotu Province and currently serving a population of more than 5,000 people.
