The CWM Hospital’s Emergency Department is now closed to all members of the public.

The Health Ministry says all patients needing emergency services will be required to visit the FEMAT Emergency Department Facility at the Vodafone Arena in Laucala Bay.

Those who require admission after review at the FEMAT Emergency Department will be admitted at either the Vodafone Arena or CWM Hospital.

The Ministry says expectant mothers attending the Ante-Natal Clinic in Suva should present at their nearest health centre or the Medical Services Pacific at Waimanu Road in Suva.

Mothers who are in labour can present at the Maternity Unit at CWM Hospital.

Please note that the entrance to the Maternity Unit at CWM Hospital is only through the maternity foyer along Waimanu Road.

The Health Ministry says after checking and testing, mothers will be sent to deliver at CWM Hospital or Makoi Maternity Unit.

The Health Ministry also says that services from the Children’s Outpatient Department are being relocated to the Paediatric Emergency Department at the FEMAT Field Hospital at Vodafone Arena.
