Bainimarama said the new hospital includes 20 beds, both outpatients and inpatients quarters and will have the ability to attend to 150 patients a day.
He added that it is equipped with latest technology as well as an ambulance for emergency situations.
The services will include consultation, special clinics, general outpatients, physiotherapy, lab and x-ray services.
It also has a staff quarters, backup generator, mortuary, incinerator and a water tower.
Bainimarama said the project was made possible through the Chinese government who contributed $11 million.
He added that today marks a huge step in the right direction and it is the major milestone in their efforts to lift the medical standard they offer particularly outside big city centers.
