SUVA, Sept. 16.
RECENTLY, four hospitals were vacated by the military authorities, and care ful consideration was given to the selection of one or other as a tuberculosis hospital. Tamavua hospital was finally selected, for the following reasons: — The hospital buildings are the most substantial, and have modern operating theatres and X-ray departments. Hot water is laid on throughout the hospital, and a steam plant supplies steam for all sterilisers. Then, too. there is ample accommodation for all nursing and domestic staffs, which is a very impor tant factor. A steam laundry will also be available.
The hospital is centrally situated and easily accessible from all parts of Fiji.
It is near the teaching centres for medical and nursing students.
It is hoped that the hospital will be in use before the end of this year
