Savusavu my beauty! Savusavu my heart! Savusavu has had many a heart-breaking incidence of death of loved ones, including one that tore every heart in our little community at the passing of a beautiful budding mother of two young boys.
And all as a result of a lack of ‘duty of care’ by our health workers and in particular our doctors who have been sent to our shores to make life healthier for us.
A recent incident where the pains of an elderly woman was ignored for close to three hours by the physician in charge, has caused the people of Savusavu to lash out on social media in the hope to find that someone in Government with a flair for ‘duty of care’, to do something about their plight.
For too many times the cries of the people of Savusavu have been ignored and the ministry has fought tooth and nail to defend the actions of its employees.
And in so doing, have sent us the message that it’s ok in the medical profession to have a passion for a lack of ‘duty of care’.
The people of Savusavu went to lengths to upgrade the hospital to make the place bearable to work in for its workers and stay in for its patients.

I’d say that a lack of ‘duty of appreciation’ is also called for by the doctor concerned who, probably didn’t bother to do a little research into the history of the hospital and into the community of Savusavu, where the people do care!
If you feel that there is no closure in this message, then that is exactly where we as a people are left – hanging in the balance!
Is anyone listening?
Does anyone truly care?
