Health of every Fijian must sit at the heart of our recovery – President

Health of every Fijian must sit at the heart of our recovery – President

President Jioji Konrote

President Jioji Konrote says as we look to re-engage economically with the world, the health of every Fijian must sit at the heart of our recovery.

While opening the 2020-2021 Parliament Session, Konrote says though we remain mindful that the coronavirus is only one of many serious threats to Fijian lives, his government will continue to ensure life-saving treatments – such as kidney dialysis – are made both affordable and accessible to the people.

The President says people’s well-being also cannot be separated from our economic recovery.

Konrote says in recognition that many Fijian families are enduring the hardest year they have ever known we must continue our support for all those who need it.

He adds our commitment to remain COVID-19 contained must be engrained in all of the work of Parliament.
