“So that’s the motto for EqualMed, we are trying to reach out to the smaller places as well because there are plenty people living in smaller communities as well, so not only providing medical supplies to those in the urban areas, we actually go and take the medical supplies to whereever needed.”

Prasad says EqualMed is privileged to be working alongside the Health Ministry and contributing to Fiji’s healthcare.
