Bita’ama women in North Malaita are concerned their health could be affected as the only female nurse serving at the Bita’ama clinic is on leave.
Only a male nurse is currently providing general clinical services, but SIBC stringer in Bita’ama John Andrew Kiri says women there are not feeling comfortable as they can only consult freely with a female nurse concerning their health issues.
He says the Bita’ama clinic has stopped providing much-needed women’s health services since 15 December last year.
