The hospital in New Caledonia is concerned at an already burgeoning debt for services that has not been paid by the Vanuatu Government.
Medipole Hospital says it's owed over 41 million vatu, or $US359,000 dollars, for medical treatment received by government leaders and senior civil servants.
Now it's asking for pre-payment of ten million vatu, or approximately $US87,000 dollars, before additional patients can be sent from Vanuatu.
