NCDC City Manager Ravu Frank has identified the proposed Level 5 Hospital at Gerehu as one of his top priorities following his reappointment.

Mr. Frank described the project as a major government initiative that could significantly improve healthcare services in NCD.

"One of the biggest projects that the government has been pushing for is the Level 5 Hospital at Gerehu," he said.

He said there was a clear need for the hospital, citing ongoing challenges facing the health sector.

He intends to work closely with key stakeholders, including the Prime Minister's Office, the Department of Health and the Department of Works, to help move the project forward.

"I see this project as a game changer to improve the health of our people," Frank said.

He added that a healthy population is critical for economic growth and national development.

"A better economy requires a healthy workforce that can continue contributing to development across all sectors," he said.
