Dr Waqainabete Boosts CWM Staff Morale With Daily Visit

Minister for Health and Medical Services Dr Ifere­imi Waqainabete says he hopes that his daily visits to the CWM Hospital will boost medical and staff members’ morale.

Dr Waqainabete revealed this dur­ing a recent interview saying it was important to show his appreciation and care for the staff members.

He said he goes to the hospital at 7am.

“You can imagine someone who has been working the whole night and that person feels very tired in the morning and the Minister comes with greetings,” said Dr Waqainabete.

“I am hopeful that it will help them grow and make them happy. I hope that makes them look forward to another day.

“I also go there to see what is going on. I must say that our people are working as hard as they can.”

He said the ministry had a signifi­cant number of doctors and nurses in the hospitals whose productivity and efficiencies were better than before.

“Sometimes staff look exhausted. Going through the corridor is im­portant and I also get ideas on the changes which need to be done.”

Dr Waqainabete, a top surgeon, said that he had also assisted in surgeries.
