From access to clean water, to rising NCDs, there are challenges facing Fijians that need addressing. With the worst diabetes mortality rate in the world, change needs to happen now.
Our programs aim to promote and advocate a healthy lifestyle and support the Ministry of Health through data collection, observation, support, and setting up bespoke initiatives. Together, we can help work towards healthier communities.
Like many regions around the world, it is the rural communities that often don’t have the same access to knowledge, support and intervention. Being located in rural settings, we are perfectly positioned to reach the hard-to-reach people.
