Learning about health care in Samoa
Dear Editor
Re: Put people first
I can’t give my opinion on Samoa’s healthcare issues but I am curious about the health care system in Samoa.
Is it private? Does the government provide healthcare in any way to the people?
I am an Occupational Therapist and am going to be volunteering in Samoa next year and am eager to learn about the health care system and how its run from a citizen’s point of view.
What is positive, what is negative?
I see from this article there is a shortage of professionals, how does that impact local health care outside of hospitals?
