CWM Board of Visitors Chair Dr Esther Williams says they recognise that the health of every Fijian is not the responsibility of one person, one organisation, one association or one Ministry but the combined responsibility of us all.

Dr Williams stated this about the last CWM Hospital Cleanup Day for 2024 held on Saturday, saying despite the rainy weather in the past few days, many volunteers turned up and braved the rain to help CWM Hospital, and to the delight of all volunteers, the day was blessed with sunshine and clear skies.

She says they organized this cleanup campaign with the CWM Hospital Administration bringing together members of the business community, local associations, employees of some Suva City organisations, civil society and interested individuals.

The Board of Visitors Chair says those who attended the clean up day and helped in one way or another included: Queen Victoria School Old Boys Association, Bank of Baroda CEO Lekshmy Anand and staff, BSP Life, The University of the South Pacific, Rejieli Cokanasiga-Taylor and Family Team, Levukana Women’s Association, Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF), Yarawa Youth Group, Rotaract, Vision Ltd, Bula Outsourcing, Ranis Restaurant, Fiji Water, Laisa Vulakoro, Winina Ltd, and many individual volunteers and staff of the CWM Hospital.

Dr Williams says they are grateful to the many youths who attended and also young children.

She says CWMH Health Champion Laisa Vulakoro encouraged all their volunteers on with her music thanking her team for participating in this community and important clean up day.

The Board of Visitors Chair thanked the many members of the business community, community-based organisations, local organisations and institutions operating in Suva who have been involved in community work with the CWM Hospital and continue to support the hospital in many ways.

She says this Cleanup Day certainly has had an impact and they hope made a little bit of difference and create awareness to the Suva community that CWM Hospital is their hospital.

Dr Williams says they are reminded that many, if not all living in Suva, were born in CWM Hospital including our children, so it must have a special place in all our lives and our families.

She says there is always a lot of pressure on the CWM Hospital to meet and deliver growing patient-centred services, and they have made this possible our wonderful volunteers.
