Lautoka Chamber of Commerce and Industry has rallied behind the health team providing a lounge set, Sheffield microwave, Simmons electric urn and a Sheffield refrigerator worth $5,000 to the PHECC for ambulance retrieval in Lautoka yesterday.
This was handed to the Acting Head of the Lautoka Hospital Emergency Department Doctor Mafa Lokega.
“As I have mentioned before this is an important operation and they (the team) will be attending to the people of Lautoka and most likely they would see cases similar to what’s happening in Suva,” Ms Lokega said.
Commerce and Industry president Pyara Singh said that when the nation needs help, the business community would always assist in any way they could.
Commissioner Western Mesake Ledua said Dr Mafa and her team were helping communities in the Western Division and the facilities would provide patients that need medical attention and assistance.
