Thirty-two staff houses and a clean water project were opened on Saturday at the Kudjip Nazarene Hospital in Jiwaka Province.

The Fair Housing and Water Projects are to address overcrowding and the lack of water situation at the hospital.

The project was worth over K5 million (approximately US$1.5 million) and funded by Australian and US Aid and the Church of the Nazarene.

Nurses, doctors, and ancillary staff of Kudjip Nazarene Hospital can now access a separate home and a clean sustainable water system.
