About 400 nurses from the various divisions across the country gathered at the Civic Centre for the 58th Annual General Meeting of the Fiji Nurses Association.

Acting President of the Fiji Nurses Association Ema Diloi says she is confident that the concerns of the nurses will be address at this meeting.

“It is about overtime, their rest rooms, the 12 hour shifts that have been undertaken in some of the hospitals and the nurses still feel that there is a shortage of nurses which is one of the issues that is of importance at this AGM.”

The AGM was officially opened this morning by the Minister for Health Jone Usamate.
