Political figure warns of poor hospital service
The daughter of Bougainville s late Minister for Health, Raymond Masono, has warned that the region s main hospital is not fit for purpose.
Masono, who also served as Bougainville s vice-president, died last week at Buka Hospital, although the cause of death has not been made public.
His daughter, Amanda Masono, a local legislative representative for the women of North Bougainville, said the hospital was not equipped to deal with an emergency.
Masono said when she visited her father in hospital she saw nurses running about searching for equipment to help him.
