Talks are now underway to get in medical professionals from the Solomon Islands.
This was told to FBC News by Solomon Islands Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo and confirmed by Fiji’s Health Minister Dr Neil Sharma.
The Solomon Islands is a beneficiary of Cuban medical aid and in addition to this, the Republic of Cuba have provided scholarships for Solomon Islanders to study medicine in Cuba for free.
According to the Solomon Islands Prime Minister, it’s these graduates that could soon be working in Fiji.
I’ve received a request from the Fiji government for us to at least make some of our newly graduated doctor’s from Cuba to come over for community health and all that and we will! We will make those people available.
The acquiring of medical professionals from the Solomon Islands is part of the skills mobility scheme agreed to by MSG leaders.
Liberalisation of services is an important thing. It’s all about the movement of skills, and ensuring that we share the skill and bring up a more prosperous development in the region.
Health Minister Doctor Neil Sharma has confirmed to FBC News that the request was made and talks are on-going.
- INTELLIGENT RESISTANCE -
Free. Fair. Fearless. Intelligentsiya is made up of Fiji Islanders who are libertarians in their own way and who cherish the free flow of news, ideas and information and will peacefully resist any attempts by the country's military rulers to stifle free speech. intelligentsiya will also bear witness, report and discuss human rights abuses by the authorities.
