The Fiji Medical Association hopes that a new sister hospital will be completed soon to support the ageing infrastructure of the Colonial War Memorial Hospital.

While speaking on fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan, Association President, Dr. Alipate Vakamocea raised concerns about the state of CWM Hospital and the challenges faced by doctors.

He says that CWM has surpassed its functional lifespan, but the CWM Master Plan will address these issues.

He says the plan includes constructing a “new sister” hospital to support CWM in the coming years which he hopes will be completed soon to relieve the strain on Fiji’s largest hospital.

Dr. Vakamocea also extends gratitude to donor partners for their support in this effort.
