Our Partner Organisation -
Health First Specialists Group Ltd (Honiara)

In 2022, a group of national senior specialist clinicians shared the idea of forming a specialist corporate group to privately provide a specialist health service in Honiara.

The group would like to establish a specialist private health care facility in Honiara, Solomon Islands that offers an alternative to the government run National Referral Hospital.

The group would like to provide tertiary health service that contributes to the National Development Strategy, particularly in the provision of healthcare and economic growth of Solomon Islands.

The Country - Solomon Islands

Explore islands with natural white sandy beaches, a rich culture, and history. Spend time on the water with endless opportunities to experience the incredibly diverse marine wildlife. 

The Assignment

In this assignment a VSA volunteer will provide support to Health First by conducting a prefeasibility analysis that will give the board members and shareholders initial information for decision making on the long term technical and financial sustainability of the proposal.

A feasibility study could then be conducted to build a business case with details of all components of the facility/service, construction, and operations.

The Volunteer

Are you someone who wants to make a difference, have a sense of adventure and like the challenge of being outside your comfort zone?  VSA Volunteers are technical experts who impart their skills and knowledge to the local community. You will need to be flexible, adaptable, resourceful, resilient with a passion for Aotearoa and the wider Pacific community.

  • Relevant qualification and at least two years’ experience in health economics, hospital planning, hospital management and administration, OR at least five years’ experience in development of feasibility studies in healthcare and/or construction projects.
