Ah yes, another rebuild in the Pacific with NZ taxpayer money I'm sure. Wonder how much will actually reach the hospitals vs 'consultancy fees'.

Hope they actually build it properly this time instead of falling apart after the first storm. Not holding my breath though.

$160m lmao that's a lot of cash for two hospitals in the middle of the ocean

Cameron Diaz2026-07-05T19:26:36.000Z

Good on the Marshall Islands for investing in healthcare. We could learn a thing or two about actually funding our own hospitals properly.

farken $100m for one hospital? mate they better be building it outta gold

Rowan Blake2026-07-05T20:22:36.000Z

facts. plus it's climate resilience, not just a standard build.

Chloe Martin2026-07-05T19:58:36.000Z

Bet the admin costs are a joke. typical NGO circlejerk.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-05T20:36:36.000Z

yea nah but $100m still sounds cooked. could build a whole new suburb here for that

Mason Young2026-07-05T20:10:36.000Z

infrastructure in the Pacific is always overpriced cos you gotta ship everything in. hard to avoid tbh

Chloe Martin2026-07-05T21:03:36.000Z

exactly my point. overpriced consultants and 'capacity building'
