Suva, Oct. 22.
FOR some time there has not been a doctor in the Savu Savu district, Fiji, and this has been the subject of many complaints by residents. There was a further outcry recently when the report of the Civil Service Reorganisation Committee announced that it was pro posed not to station a doctor there.
