“Something that is typical to Fijian’s is that they do not consider basic hygiene as important and then at the end of the day people are admitted at the hospital and on top of that they blame the hospital for getting them sick.”

Namotu says people should seek immediate medical attention whenever they develop flu like symptoms.
