At Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH Hospitals), cutting-edge technology and compassionate care go hand in hand. From life-saving open-heart surgeries to day-to-day diagnostics, PSH Hospitals has become a symbol of modern healthcare in Fiji and the Pacific.
But behind every successful treatment lies a group of unsung heroes—the biomedical engineering unit—whose technical expertise ensures that medical innovation doesn’t just exist but works flawlessly when it matters most.
In healthcare, every second counts. Even the smallest technical issue can mean the difference between life and death. That’s where PSH Hospitals’ biomedical engineers and technicians come in. Their mission? To keep every piece of medical equipment—from CT scanners and ultrasound machines to infusion pumps, surgical instruments, and PillCam technology—running at peak performance.
“We’re the ones making sure everything works behind the scenes,” shares Asaeli Raiwalui, a senior biomedical engineer at PSH Hospitals. “Doctors and nurses rely on us to ensure equipment delivers accurate results. We may not see patients every day, but everything we do helps save lives.”
Innovation Powered by Precision
PSH Hospitals has made headlines for introducing new diagnostic and treatment technologies almost every three weeks—faster than any other healthcare provider in the region. Whether it’s non-invasive gastrointestinal scans using PillCam technology or preparing to launch advanced radiation therapy for cancer patients, none of it would be possible without a biomedical team constantly calibrating, maintaining, and fine-tuning the equipment.
“Having the latest equipment is only half the story,” explains PSH Hospitals Founder and CEO Parvish Kumar. “The other half is ensuring that equipment works perfectly, every time. That’s what our biomedical team delivers.”
The Invisible Backbone of Patient Care
While the biomedical team may not wear stethoscopes or perform surgeries, their role is just as critical. Before every operation, during every diagnosis, and behind every treatment plan is a machine that must function perfectly. From routine checks to emergency repairs, these highly trained professionals form the invisible backbone of patient care.
Their work extends beyond the hospital’s walls. With PSH Hospitals expanding its outreach to rural areas and the wider Pacific region, the biomedical team plays a key role in supporting mobile diagnostic units and satellite clinics, ensuring even the most remote communities have access to reliable, high-tech healthcare.
A Team That Reflects PSH Hospitals’ Values
Like the rest of PSH Hospitals, the biomedical team is built on excellence, innovation, and service. They work around the clock to prevent equipment failures, reduce downtime, and ensure patient care is never compromised.
“Every beep, every scan, every image—it all starts with us,” says Mr. Raiwalui. “We don’t need recognition. Just knowing the machines are helping save lives is enough.”
A Future Built on Reliability and Trust
As PSH Hospitals continues to transform healthcare in Fiji and the Pacific, the biomedical team will remain a vital part of that journey. Their quiet dedication ensures that the hospital’s vision of affordable, world-class care is not just a promise—but a daily reality.
So, the next time a patient walks out of PSH Hospitals with a diagnosis in hand, a healed heart, or renewed hope, they’ll have more than their doctor to thank. They’ll have a team of biomedical experts who made sure every machine did its job—and did it right.
