Fiji National University has today opened its new state of the art Tuisuva Dental Teaching Clinic.
While officiating at the opening of the new Dental clinic, Fiji National University Vice Chancellor Nigel Healey says the $4 million clinic is the largest dental teaching clinic in the South Pacific region.
Healey says the clinic now has 40 new dental chairs with operator and assistant chairs, four new dental x-ray machines, two new x-ray rooms, and teaching resources to upgrade the ones that were in use for more than 20 years.

Dr Tuisuva is regarded an icon in the local and regional dental circles having spent almost four decades in the field of dentistry as a practitioner and an educationist.
Dr Tuisuva says it was an emotional but joyous moment to have the facility named after him.
