Fourteen civil engineering students from Solomon Islands National University (SINU) recently toured the Naha Birthing and Urban Health Centre worksite, one of the country’s most significant health infrastructure projects under the Solomon Islands-Australia Partnership. The experience left the students motivated and eager to contribute to the future development of Solomon Islands.
Second-year students Annie Ata and Trevor Ngatonga shared their excitement after witnessing the complexities of a major construction site in action. “So much planning and teamwork goes into a project like this,” said Ms Ata. “I’m feeling more confident now about my future.”
Set to open in the New Year, the Naha Centre will provide high-quality birthing services, outpatient care, and maternal and child health services. Regular planning meetings are being held to ensure the facility is fully operational upon handover.
This hands-on learning opportunity reflects the goals of the Solomon Islands- Australia Partnership to inspire and prepare the next generation of professionals who will lead the infrastructure development of Solomon Islands.
