Minister for Health Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete

Health Minister Doctor Ifereimi Waqainabete says today his thoughts are with all the mothers on the frontline including our healthcare professionals, members of the disciplined forces and other units that are supporting their work.

He says they also know that some are not able to be at home today because they are in quarantine and isolation facilities.

Doctor Waqainabete is encouraging those like him who have lost their mom to spend today to reflect on the good things their mom has done for them.

He says he wants to thank the Ministry of Health staff and those mothers that cannot be with their families today.

The Health Minister says what they are doing is so important.

He adds Fiji is their family and they are protecting us all.
