Faleomavaega Before CARS Commission
“In brief, I expressedmy disappointment that the VA has failed to provide American Samoa withone doctor, one nurse, or one clinic. I repeat, the VA has not providedAmerican Samoa with one doctor, one nurse, one hospital, or one community-basedoutpatient clinic (CBOC) to care for our veterans and quite frankly I believeit is shameful that anyone could know of this problem and do nothing aboutit. For more than two years, VISN 21 and the Honolulu VAMROC havepromised that they would establish a CBOC in American Samoa but this hasnot happened and I have now asked the Commission to intercede,” CongressmanFaleomavaega said. ...

OIA: Chapter 2
OIA also has provided technical assistance in a number of other areas since the formation of the joint working groups. These include establishing a cooperative management and maintenance program to improve medical services in the ASG hospital, initiating a Public Health Service evaluation of the off-island medical referral system, and extending Pacific Island Training Initiative programs to provide a long-term training program for ASG officials. ... In 1995, OIA worked with local leaders to identify and hire a financial planning group to help ASG prepare a financial recovery plan. CORE, Inc. began working with the JWG in American Samoa May 8, 1995. In October 27, 1995, CORE provided the JWG with a final report on immediate-term financial recovery plan. The JWG submitted the report to Gov. Lutali in December of 1995. In a January 27, 1996, letter, Gov. Lutali submitted some changes to the final report to the Department of the Interior supporting the recommendations and endorsing the plan. CORE officials concluded that ASG can institute immediate revenue-enhancing measures, including modest increases in local government fees for hospital, court, airport, seaport, telephone, hotel, and golf services. This enhancement could provide $3 million in annual additional revenues to the government. CORE also recommended mid and long-term cost containment measures for ASG. ... [Read More]
