THERE is a need to improve the physical surroundings of our hospitals and health centres.

Minister for Health and Medical Services Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete said the surroundings in which the ministry expected the doctors, nurses, other health professionals to work and the patients to be treated in were too often unsatisfactory.

He said there was a need to do more to reduce adverse events.

“Identify their causes and implement improvements to prevent them re-occurring,” Dr Waqainabete said.
