More than 300 student nurses enrolled into the inaugural Bachelor of nursing program at the Fiji National University is expected to strengthen Fiji's health sector reforms.
The Ministry of Health's Nursing Services Director applauded the launch of the program and highlighted its impact on Fiji's nursing profession.
The Registrar of the Fiji National University Jone Dakuvula said that while the new program is expected to boost Fiji's health services, it will also provide an opportunity for nurses to seek employment opportunities outside the country.
Earlier this month the Health Minister Dr Neil Sharma reaffirmed government’s commitment towards the upgrading of the health sector while touring health centers in the western division.
Plans are now under way to develop a Masters program for Nursing in Fiji.
