Enra week doesn’t disappoint

How to tell that it is Enra week in Majuro? That’s an easy question to answer.

Just stop by the hospital the first two days of the quarterly money distribution and what do you see?

It’s really what you “don’t” see that is the point. A hospital with no patients: No people in the outpatient clinic, no one in dental, only a couple of people waiting for medicines at the pharmacy.

Essentially on Enra payday, the hospital is a ghost town.
