THE Reconstruction work for the Dental Clinic at Atoifi Adventist Hospital (AAH) in East Kwaio, Malaita Province, will resume soon.
This reconstruction work has resumed following the arrival of Dr. Genna Levitch in Honiara on Monday 24 June, accompanied by project builder Wilber Clarke. Both have travelled to AAH on Thursday 27th June to revisit the proposed site of the dental clinic project.
The dental clinic project will be funded by Dr. Genna Levitch, a dentist by profession, and his son-in-law, Tim Edwards, from Australia. Edwards won a prize at work and donated the money to fund the project. The funds have been channelled through ADRA Australia and will be administered by ADRA Solomon Islands for implementation.
Work on the dental clinic was initially began in 2016 but was halted due to some issues. The work would now resume to complete the dental clinic. The staff house, funded under the project, has already been completed. The current phase of the project will now focus on finishing the dental clinic.
Dr. Genna Levitch and the builder visited Atoifi Hospital over the weekend to see logistics for the container they will send from Australia. The container will contain building materials needed to finish the dental clinic, as well as dental equipment such as dental chairs, compressors, and suction motors, which will be transported to Atoifi.
“We are going to Atoifi to double-check how much of the dental clinic has been built. We need to make sure we have ordered all the building materials, electrical and plumbing supplies’’
‘’Also, it has been six years since we started, so I want to meet the current administration of the hospital which we did and reestablish our relationship as we are partnering with ADRA SI, SDA administration, and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services. We cannot do this on our own and rely on our contacts on the ground,” Mr. Levitch said.
Principal of Atoifi School of Nursing, Alwin Muse who was on the ground to assist them during their visit was grateful and excited about the project.
