For the first time, 25 final year medical students will attend Fiji Medical Associatio­n’s annual regional scientific conference­s in Fiji through its scholar awards.

This was confirmed by FMA president Dr Basharat Munshi while acknowledg­ing ANZ’s platinum sponsorshi­p of the associatio­n’s annual conference­s which are in Suva, the west and north.

This would be ANZ’s eighth year in a row in sponsoring this event.

Through our flagship financial education programme, MoneyMinde­d, we have been helping medical profession­als across Fiji to develop money skills, knowledge and confidence, so they can make the most of their money during their working lives.
