Fijians can look forward to improved healthcare system as the staff at Lautoka and Ba Hospitals are receiving technical assistance and expertise from a team of senior executives of Aspen Medical’s global head office and Middle East office.

The six-member team is made up of Aspen Medical Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Hughes, General Manager of Aspen Medical UAE Vince Shields, Project Manager Advisory Services Anita Grindlay, Senior Clinical Manager Caroline Nash, Public Health Advisor Mark Handby and Director Corporate Sustainability Colin Macdonald.

Aspen Medical Fiji CEO, Annette Owttrim says the visiting team has provided strategic support during this transition phase at both the hospitals.

Owttrim says this is the high level of expertise that they can attract from their global office to assist them as they continue to make progress with the Public-Private Partnership.

She says the talented team will take away some of the challenges that they are facing and provide solutions.

Aspen Medical has been managing both Lautoka and Ba Hospitals for over two months now.
