About Our Partner Organisation: National Referral Hospital
The National Referral Hospital (NRH) provides secondary to tertiary health care services. It has 49 departments, mostly covering direct patient care although some are for corporate services and non-clinical public health services.

You will undertake an audit of assets and ensure that systems and processes are in place to manage assets day-to-day as well as life-cycle management and reporting to ensure hospital leadership have full visibility of hospital assets.
The Country – The Solomon Islands:
The Solomon Islands has over 900 islands, 5,000 rural villages and 550,000 people. Between 1999 and 2003 it experienced a period of conflict which took a heavy toll on the country and left a need for reconciliation and on-going peace and security measures.
A request for assistance by the government in 2003 led Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific Island countries to form the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI) which restored peace and security. VSA has established a strong presence in Solomon Islands through its ongoing partnerships with multiple in-country partners, including strong relationships with Solomon Islands Government.
