“He revealed at least 34 local experience nurses have resigned and has left a huge gap to their service.
“Aumanu said the decision by these nurses to resign is their personal choice.
“He said following their resignation, there remains at least 80 experience nurses.
“The 34 local nurses resigned to join the Vanuatu health service. The neighbouring Vanuatu made an open call to the region that it needed 200 nurses.
