T.B. Hospital

AT the last annual meeting of the Methodist Overseas Mission Board a cable was received from the acting chairman of the Fiji District, intimating that the Mission might be asked by the Fiji Government to take over and staff a hospital at Tamavua for tubercular patients, and asking whether the Mission was prepared to accept this extra respon sibility.

The Board appealed for workers, and received a large number of inquiries.

After four months of waiting for fur ther information, the following cable has now been received from the chairman of the District: “Government while appreciating our offer to staff hospital has decided to recruit its own staff as in other hospitals.”
