Over 10,000 Fijians in the province of Nadroga, Navosa and the highlands of Ba will benefit from the new Navosa Sub‑Divisional Hospital at Keiyasi which is expected to be completed in the next 18 months.
While speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says in the past, people residing throughout this sub‑division needed to travel to Sigatoka, Nadi, or even as far as Ba to seek specialized treatment, x‑rays and ultrasounds, maternity services, pharmacy services and laboratory testing.

Bainimarama says that he is proud to say that upon the completion of the $30M hospital, this will no longer be the reality for healthcare as all of these services will be offered in Keiyasi.
He says that all over Fiji government has set up new healthcare facilities with a particular emphasis on delivering more and better services to the people of Fiji in remote maritime and deep rural communities.
Bainimarama says in the next five years even more investment will be made to upgrade and expand the existing divisional hospitals, making room for more beds, providing more services and creating an overall better experience for those seeking treatment.
