Wednesday, December 8, 2004 - The Ministry of Health is appealing to
members of the public to desist from vandalising public Health Centres on the
island. Health officials are particularly concern over recent incidents of
burglarising and vandalising at the Ti Rocher Health Centre.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Human Services, Family Affairs
and Gender Relations, Fedelis William said this was matter of serious concern to
health officials: “The Ti Rocher Health Centre has been burglarised and
vandalised several times and equipment has been stolen; what we did was to have
a meeting with the people of Ti Rocher about the situation”.
The Health Permanent Secretary is however, dispelling rumours being circulated
regarding the closure of that health centre: “There is no truth to the rumour
that the health centre is being closed; if people are doing this, it is a
malicious rumour. We are not going to close the health centre, and I am
repeating we are not closing the health centre”.
According to Mr. Williams, all they did was to talk to the Ti Rocher people
about the intolerable situation and to encourage them to assist the police in
apprehending the culprits.
