The supplies include latex gloves, beddings, blood pressure unit, CPR masks, gowns, a hyperinflation system, and an infant oxygen hood.

United States-based EqualMedic’s Chief Executive and Founder, Nivita Sharma says this assistance will also benefit the rural health facilities.

“As all other people, Fiji deserves quality health care. We try to focus our efforts not only to big hospitals but also to bring medical supplies to rural and interior health centers and nursing stations.”

“EqualMed has also supported Diabetes Fiji and our partnership with Diabetes Fiji and Ministry of Health, Mr. Shelvin Sharma and the team, we would like to thank you again to consistently supporting the Ministry of Health in Fiji.”
