Oceania Hospitals Pte Ltd is looking at investing 10 to 15 million dollars in their short to medium-term plan.

This was highlighted by the Chairman of the Hospital Malakai Naiyaga during their 20th-anniversary celebration today.

Naiyaga says it is also their aim to expand their presence in other parts of the country, offering quality medical care by setting up satellite centres in the Northern and Western divisions as well as in the Suva-Nausori corridor.

He says in 2001 they changed the medical services landscape in Fiji forever.

Naiyaga adds they are committed to providing leadership in the private health sector and they strive for the highest standard of clinical expertise and nursing care, building on the strong foundations of the last 20 years of learnings, of collaboration and experience.

Permanent Secretary for Health Dr James Fong says, in the beginning, there was skepticism about the sustainability of starting a private hospital.

Dr Fong says the hospital has proved essential as it provided relief to the public health system.
