In October we had a Zoom meeting with the Swiss Embassy in Canberra, Ms Trunz of Swiss water Foundation, Mr. John Nell, a Representative of Trunz Water Systems in Australia and of course me.

Ms Trunz explained that the Donation from the Swiss Embassy for Buka Hospital, made in 2020, doesn’t cover the actual cost of now about 25’000 CHF.

Out of this reason, the project Buka Hospital must be cancelled by Swiss Water Foundation and a new location must be found.

Mr. Nell mentioned that a Hospital on Vanuatu would be good.

The Swiss Ambassador commissioned Ms Trunz to call the Buka Hospital Manager informing him about the decision and sending an e-mail afterwards with the full explanation.
