United Church's Appeal

The United Church in the Solomon Islands may have to curtail some of its work, and perhaps even close some of its smaller clinics because of the rising cost of living, demands for higher wages and the increasing cost of drugs and equipment. This pos sibility can only be averted if more interested groups of people will help to bear the financial burden, says the medical superintendent of the Helena Goldie Hospital, Munda, Dr F.

Guard. He said the work of the United Church would not be possible without “tremendous financial as sistance” from the Lepers’ Trust Board of NZ.
