Australia provides equipment for FEMAT Field Hospital in Lautoka and community isolation centres

The Australian government has provided portable air conditioning units, washing machines, dryers, generators, tables and chairs to equip the FEMAT Field Hospital in Lautoka, community isolation centres and screening teams in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Australian High Commission is working with the National Disaster Management Office to ensure the needs of the elderly, people living with disabilities, women and babies are catered for through providing pads, adult diapers, adjustable beds and baby formula at these isolation facilities.

Australia is committing over $545,000 for the procurement of these essential items.
