100 percent of police deaths are linked to NCDs – Acting COMPOL

Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew says it is sad to note that 100 percent of police deaths are linked to Non-Communicable Diseases.

While launching the Pinktober Month, Chew pleaded to officers not to wait for a specific time to talk or improve their health.

He adds that Pinktober allows us to learn from the brave survivors and families who share their experiences.

During the launch, the staff at the Fiji Police Headquarters also collected funds that will go towards the eradication of cancer
