A team of medical specialists from Australia will arrive in the country this weekend for a week-long service visit.

The team of ear, nose and throat specialists will provide free screening, surgical and non-surgical treatment services at the National Referral Hospital.

NRH Medical Superintendent, Dr Rooney Jagilly told SIBC News, the team’s visit came under what was known as the “Pacific Island Project”.

“They’re from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons,” Dr Jagilly said.

“But the project has been funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs.”
