Speedy recovery to Hon. Pio's daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and the family during this challenging time.
At the same time, this situation highlights a broader issue that many Fijians face. One of the reasons people seek medical treatment overseas is that Fiji's healthcare system still lacks some of the specialized expertise, equipment, and facilities required for certain complex diagnoses, procedures, and treatments.
When even the family members of senior leaders require treatment abroad, it raises important questions about the capacity of our local health services and the need for continued investment in healthcare infrastructure, specialist training, and advanced medical technology.
This should serve as an eye-opener for all of us. Strengthening our healthcare system must remain a national priority so that more Fijians can access world-class treatment without having to leave our shores. Just felt why former AG wanted to fly overseas treatment and not Fiji and he was banned :)
