HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION WANT CUBAN DOCTORS INTERVIEWED

Superintendent of the National Referral hospital, doctor Tenneth Dalipanda says the hospital administration is urging government to allow them to interview doctors that are coming from Cuba to work in the country.Speaking to SIBC News, the Medical Superintendent says a screening process would determine if the Cuban doctors are capable of dealing with medical situations that are unique to Solomon Islands and the region.Dr Dalipanda says his administration had already communicated this idea to the Ministry." Interview is probably the best way to gauge their capabilities. We can ask specific questions related to diseases in the country like how one would manage a particular disease. An answer to that question would tell us what they would do or what not. There will be targeted questions relating to our local situation. That is a very important criteria we would want happen."The Solomon Islands Government has already signed an agreement with the Cuban government which would allow about 40 doctors from Cuba to work in the country, in a bid to alleviate the shortage of medical doctors.Foreign Minister Patteson Oti signed the agreement with his Cuban counterpart when he visited Cuba last week.Meanwhile, Dr Dalipanda says getting doctors from Cuba or else where in the world is only a short term measure to address the shortage of medical doctors in the country.He says whilst it allows a bit more time for some trainee doctors to graduate, a recruitment must be specific to the current health needs.Dr Dalipanda says engaging overseas doctors can also be expensive.He says a much better approach, though long term is for government to increase the number of people being trained as medical doctors. He says less than 10 doctors graduate each year from two regional institutions where they receive training.Dr Dalipanda also say the current improvement to the work conditions of local doctors is attracting some local doctors to return to the country.
