The Vanuatu's Nurses Association has written a letter to the deputy prime minister, threatening to strike over the government's hospital plan.
The letter to Edward Natapei follows to the pilot project to revise health service delivery at Vila Central Hospital in the capital and Northern District Hospital in Santo.
The deputy president of the Nurses Association, Anne Pakoa, has called on the government to review its decision to remove middle-management directors and replace them with a chief medical officer in each province.
She says the results on the ground already show it will not work.
Miss Pakoa has also told the Daily Post Newspaper the Nurses Association want the acting director general of health, Dr Santus Wari, removed.
She says he is at fault for suspending all professional staff to implement the government's decision.
The nurses say they will strike if the government does not act.
