The 12-member Fiji Emergency Medical Assistance Team (FEMAT) to help with relief assistance departed for Vanuatu this morning.

The Ministry of Health says the team has been assigned to assist in Port Vila and the Vila Central Hospital for the next two weeks before returning home.

The team presented their 'i tatau' to the Permanent Secretary for Health Dr Jemesa Tudravu on Friday.

While bidding them farewell, Dr Tudravu wished them well and thanked them for accepting the call of our nation to take on the task of assisting our Pacific neighbours in Vanuatu.
