Last night’s event, hosted by the President himself, saw a deliberate effort to extend invitations to retirees who played a pivotal role in shaping one of the oldest hospitals in the region.

“You have brought joy to many people, families and smile to those who are sick and comfort to those who have lost their loved ones. You have also paved the way for the many trainees and the health professionals in Fiji and the Pacific region including International students through our very own CWM Hospital. Your service to humanity is a divine calling from god.”

Ratu Wiliame says the hospital has come a long way, and he did not forget the donors and partners.
