Double celebrations for Warangoi Rural Hospital in East New Britain that recorded two babies born on Christmas day.
Warangoi Rural Hospital Sister-in-Charge & Mid-Wife Rosemary Sylvester says, apart from both baby boys successfully delivered, the out-patient ward was quiet with no patients.
“Both baby boys were delivered normal and are in good health, one being 3.5kg and the other weighing 3kg.”
“Apart from this, the out-patient ward was really quiet and had no patients there until this morning but with only minor issues reported.”
She added that, though medical supply of drugs is always an issued face at all hospitals, they have enough to get them through this festive period.
Meanwhile she is appealing to the general public to celebrate responsibly this festive period.
“Christmas and New Year is a peak period were there are a lot of accident related cases reported and we don’t want to see that. But so far so good because this Christmas period, we did not receive any accident or alcohol related cases.”
Meanwhile, the rain has proven its worth with the much needed help and assistance by filling up the tanks at the Warangoi Rural Hospital to help out with its operations.
Sr Sylvester said they are in full swing with their operations at the rural hospital with no issues faced at this time.
“Despite the wet season were in now, there’s no cases of malaria or flu or any of that sort reported at the hospital yet.”
