WAU HEALTH CENTRE TO COST K30M
By BRADLEY MARIORI
WAU Health center in Wau Waria, Morobe will cost more than K30 million to build and the district development authority is working to seek funding for that facility.
MP Marsh Narewec said at the moment, the health facility is undergoing documentation stage and for this process alone, it has cost the Wau Waria DDA K3 million.
He explained that Wau health center will need between K33 and or K35 million to build it to meet standards as required by the government.
Narewec said this is a health center to support the entire district and they want to follow all National Government sanctioned processes and procedures to fully equip it when it is completed.
The MP said building a health facility to meet the government’s standards is a must as it is different from building other infrastructures.
Narewec explained that he do not want the facility, after its completion to be unused because of not following proper processes.
He said this week, the DDA will meet with the provincial health authority and the design and documentation team for a consultation meeting.
A fully completed health facility should have medical equipments and drugs, registered nursing officers, their accommodations and other logistical support.
It is likely that the construction of the health center will begin towards the end of next year.
