A community initiative in Lautoka is encouraging Fijians to take a more proactive approach to their health through diabetes awareness, early detection and healthier lifestyle choices.
The event, held at Shirley Park, brought together the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Diabetes Fiji and members of the public for health check-ups and a community walk.
The initiative was supported by Punjas, and it highlighted the importance of regular health monitoring and early detection, while encouraging individuals and families to adopt simple lifestyle changes that can help prevent and manage diabetes and improve their overall quality of life.
Punjas says its responsibility extends beyond the products it manufactures and the business it operates, recognising its role as part of the wider Fijian community.
As part of its commitment to supporting healthier food choices, Punjas offers consumers a range of products, including Punjas Parboiled Rice, Wholemeal Flour and Wholemeal Wraps, which can form part of a balanced and varied diet.
Punjas also acknowledged the efforts of the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Diabetes Fiji and all participating organisations in raising awareness about diabetes and encouraging healthier communities.
The company says it will continue supporting meaningful community initiatives that promote healthier lifestyles and contribute to a healthier Fiji.
