By Aloysius Laukai

A senior Doctor from the Buka General Hospital is calling on the people of Bougainville to eat good healthy food to remain healthy.

DR. JOSEPH VILOSI told New Dawn FM that diabetes was on the increase in young youths due to the heavy consumption of homebrew.

He said that the problem was on the rise and questioned how Bougainville will become independent without a healthy workforce.

DR. VILOSI also called on the leaders and chiefs to make sure that young under-aged are not allowed to drink any form of alcohol.

He said that the law to punish under-aged youths for drinking alcohol must be enforced on Bougainville.

DR.Vilosi said that he was very concerned to see young school-aged youths drinking alcohol and becoming a nuisance in the communities.
