With the two panchayats on the Divar Island, followed by Chimbel and Old Goa having all sent in their unanimous resolutions urging the government to set up a full-fledged health centre at the Old Ribandar hospital, the Merces panchayat has also collectively resolved and urged the government through an official resolution on the need for a full-fledged health centre at Ribandar. Let us repose our faith and trust that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane and local MLA Babush Monserrate will move swiftly to ensure that this long-awaited facility becomes a reality. And in the words of our MLA Babush Monserrate ‘By hook or crook, it will be ensured that full medical facilities are restored at the Old Ribandar Hospital’.
