The program held at the Fiji High Commission in India, was organised in recognition of the New Year’s and Christmas messages of unity, togetherness, and prosperity.
A total of 35 Fijians who are currently in India for medical treatment from six different hospitals were accompanied by their families and caregivers as part of the Christmas celebrations.
The patients were from Batra Hospital, Max Hospitals, Apollo Hospital, PSRI, Forties, BLK and Artemis Hospital.
