Cabinet Ministers led by Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi visited several district hospitals in Samoa to reassure families and their children admitted with related-measles symptoms that Government is not leaving anyone behind.
The visit to Poutasi, Lalomanu, Leulumoega hospitals and the Faleolo Health Clinic also provided PM Tuilaepa, Cabinet, the Disaster Advisory Committee and the National Emergency Operation Center to hear first hand from the health care providers on the ground what their urgent needs are for Government to immediately remedy any setbacks.
Cabinet suspended its agenda Tuesday morning to prioritize the five hour visit to the hospitals in the rural areas.
A total of 766 patients have been admitted since the outbreak with 558 treated and discharged.
