Fiji First parliamentarian Alex O’Connor was officially sworn-in as the new Assistant Health Minister at the State House today.
O’Connor says in his letter of appointment, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has asked him to specifically focus on public health.
He says it is a big challenge as NCD’s come under public health and it is an area that is plaguing not only Fiji but the region and the world as a whole.
O’Connor says working with the new Health Minister, Rosy Akbar is a great opportunity and he thinks things will work out right.
He says he will get a feel of the office space, meet the administration and staff, and he will then take it from there.
