Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor James Fong.

The Permanent Secretary for Health has thanked a number of business houses coming forward to assist the Health Ministry in it’s fight against COVID-19.

Doctor James Fong says he was sent some awesome photos of food items donated by Billy Singh of Kundan Singh Supermarket today. This was being delivered to the families within the screening zone at Wainitarawau Settlement in Cunningham.

Doctor Fong says hotels like the Tanoa and the Crow’s Nest have also supported the surgical teams working in Sigatoka and Rakiraki.

The Holiday Inn has helped provide meals and catering to our health officials.

He also thanked Women in Business and the Fiji Chamber of Commerce and Industry for reaching out to their members, and to other businesses, to adhere to the health protocols.

Doctor Fong also made special mention of Tanoa Hotel.

He says they have been with them from the very beginning and have supported them in many different ways.

He hopes to see other business organisations step-up and do the same.
