This year, the main project for the Committee is the supply of a multi-functional ultra sound machine to the Labasa Hospital.

Deo says the machine is really needed and will assist in the early detection of a number of medical complications.

The machines costs approximately $50,000.

The major project the Committee will undertake from this year is the construction of a multi-purpose hall in Vulovi, Labasa to cater for seminars, meetings, events, religious activities and many others.

The theme of this year’s Festival is “Our Health – Our Future.”
