UNFRIENDLY NORTH? Friendly North hospital staff member accused of assaulting the father of a patient waiting for an hour to get son treated

A Fijileaks volunteer correspondent in the northern division informs us that a  Friendly North hospital staff member, one Filimone of the Records Department, lost his composure and allegedly assaulted a sick patient's father,  Mohammed Raza, in the face.

This incident was witnessed by public around midday today.

Victim was said to be filling complains form after waiting for hour to get his child's folder, when two native Fijian staff yelled from the Records to "stop swearing " and came out and one of the above mentioned staff punched the victim Raza in the face.

No police action and staff disciplinary action yet.

Sanjeshwar Lal, a customer care officer, managed to handle the situation calmly well under control being trying to protect hospitals reputation and also helping the patients in his capacity.

Mrs Voce, the medical officer, had been attending to the issue and was very helpful to both staff and patient.

Accoring to our correspondent the  hospital is under staffed and needs help. There are only two security guards  in entire hospital of Labasa, and every now and then the frustrated patients lose their patience, and not the staff.

What is the Health Ministry doing - "no money and under staff ",  our correspondent claims, which is leading to stress due to less pay to attendants and junior staffs and extra workload.

Look one way to deal with the no money and under staffed stuff up at the Hospital is give the Hospital an excellence award and pretend all is good!

Working longer shifts for less pay is a huge disappointment, makes me refer to the ministry of health as the Ministry of Hell based on this incident up north.
