American Embassy Official Opens New Saint John’s College Sick Bay
Expected to benefit more than 500 students
The newly opened sick bay at Saint John’s College, Cawaci, in Ovalau, is expected to benefit more than 500 students at the school.
It was officially opened by United States of America Embassy deputy chief of mission, Doug Sonnek, yesterday.
School principal, Father Ekuasi Manu thanked the American Embassy for the school’s new sick bay room.
“As you know that our school was badly affected during Tropical Cyclone Winston and the school didn’t have a sick bay.
“Now we will be able to treat our students at school rather than referring them to the main hospital.”
He said sometimes they had no choice but to look after the students at their dorms.
Father Manu said the number of students had decreased prior to the cyclone because of overcrowding.
“The new sick bay is a blessing to this school and it has come at the right time,” he said.
