What progress ... the water is HOT

With 48 beds, the local (government funded) hospital at Savusavu, Fiji consists of five wards – Men’s, Women’s, Obstetrics, Children’s, and Private* (for Pay). Prior to the installation by the Rotary Club of Savusavu (District 9920) of a new solar water heater, the only hot water fixture in the hospital was one bathtub in the Women’s ward! This is why, when they discovered it, they chose to make it a priority project and this has now been completed. The club is  continuing to upgrade the hospital’s plumbing fixtures.

*Savusavu Hospital’s Private Ward was established by The Rotary Club of Savusavu in December 1999

The club also decorated the five wards for Christmas, adding much appreciated Christmas Cheer for the patients and staff.
