We need to take ownership of our health facilities, maintain cleanliness and take the health services to a new level.

This has been reiterated by the Minister for Health and Medical Services, Rosy Akbar while speaking to Health Ministry Senior Managers and officials at a management meeting.

Akbar also highlighted that rural health facilities in particular have been neglected for quite a long time and the Health Managers need to act now to ensure that the services are enhanced.

She stresses that addressing the challenges will require teamwork.

The Health Minister also highlighted the importance to cultivate friendly, professional attitude among healthcare providers, and the need to instill a sense of compassion and empathy for those in our society who suffer from the effects of ill‑health.

She has urged Health Ministry Supervisors or Heads of divisions and employees under their care to have a profound impact on the lives of the Fijian families and the future of this nation.
