The Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama is well on his way to recovery.

This comes after Bainimarama recently underwent heart surgery.

Minister for Economy and Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum confirms that following a scheduled medical review in Melbourne, Australia, the Prime Minister’s physician informed him that he needed to undertake an urgent cardiovascular surgical procedure.

Sayed-Khaiyum says Bainimarama underwent the procedure yesterday morning (Friday) and this was a success.

He says the Prime Minister has already spoken with his family members and as per the doctor’s orders this type of surgery takes weeks at a minimum to recover from.

Sayed-Khaiyum says they expect the Prime Minister to be back at the helm of the nation fitter than ever by the end of next month.
