Sahyadri Specialty Pacific Hospital Limited in Fiji has had positive outcomes from their health screening for persons living with disabilities.
Director of the Sahyadri Specialty Pacific Hospital, Manu Munibhargav says they are looking forward to assisting those that want medical help in the Central and Western Division.
The Ministry for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation has confirmed that screening will be at the Fiji National Council for Disabled Persons Complex and will open from 9am to 5pm today.
The Ministry says more than 200 people turned out at the screening in the Northern division last week with positive responses received by the seven doctors from India.
Doctors will also be conducting screenings at the Sigatoka hospital tomorrow and will be in Ba on Wednesday.
They will then conclude their screening for persons living with disabilities on Thursday in Lautoka.
The Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Mereseini Vuniwaqa had earlier stated that the main aim of this screening is to take stock of the types of disabilities we have and for specialists to assess those who may be able to be helped through corrective surgery and to give them that option.
