The Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva will start treating non-COVID patients soon.

The Hospital is still operating as a COVID Hospital, but Chief Medical Advisor, Doctor Jemesa Tudravu says the transition will be made soon.

“Over the next few days CWM Hospital will transition into the green hospital to look after non-COVID cases while our FEMAT Field Hospital will transition to look after COVID patients. As we go through this transition period in the next few days, we will continue to provide more information and messages on the changes in terms of health services delivery as well as the patient movements.”

The Nadi and Lautoka Hospitals are now fully operational in the Western Division.

However, the Specialist Outpatient Clinic in Lautoka Hospital remains closed and Doctor Tudravu says this will hopefully open by Monday.
