Hospital and sevens
Health infrastructure
IT’S nice to note that the Australian government has given aid to boost our medical services. Be it a centre or major hospital, the facility needs to be up to par in service, skill, supplies, tech and infrastructure. The maintenance of infrastructure is essential for proficient service delivery.
After an outcry the facelift of CWM’s external portion speaks for itself and all thanks to the contributors. The professionals of these departments need to feel at ease in their working environment and so too, the patients. Health services will remain a need in demand for daily living thus it has to be welcoming in structure and service to the needy and provider alike.
Leaking airconditioning units or hanging ceiling panels aren’t suitable nor warranted in such essential service arenas. Regular upgrade of buildings and machinery required should be addressed aptly in a state manageable then to leave things destructable lacking sources to achieve revival.
For instance the National Diabetes Centre (NDC) is providing care for patients but the site itself Needs Development Change (NDC) to give an appealing feel to frequent visitors. Along with face and tech uplift the availability of proper and adequate parking space should be adhered to. Let’s hope the given aid received is wisely laid for service disruptions to avoid! Authorities ought to plan and develop to provide needs accordingly.
Thanks once again for the assistance.

Marist 7s kicks off!
THE 48th edition of the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s tournament is expected to bring out the best from our local 7s sides and the All Blacks 7s who are here before the exciting battle at the So Kon Po Stadium in the Happy Valley. The Marist 7s tournament previously announced players selected to represent Fiji in HK.
Last year, Police Blue were crowned the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s champs after their 15-5 victory over Fiji. It was the second loss for Fiji after going down 14-7 to Tabadamu. The national 7s side started well, but the Police unit was solid in defence and rattled the national side. Inia Tawalo scored first for Fiji, but then it was Police all the way, as former
Fiji 7s playmaker Livai Ikanikoda and Peni Kurusiga scored two tries. Terio Tamani nailed any hope of a comeback, as he converted a penalty.
Police Blue, Fire and Tabadamu look sharp in attack and defence and will be tested by the All Blacks 7s. Head coach Osea Kolinisau has a mammoth task ahead of him in HK, but then there’s no doubt that Fiji can lose everywhere and anywhere but put up a spirited and dominant performance in HK and win the Cup!
