Fiji has initiated efforts to expand and manage its medical workforce through training and administrative restructuring. The government is preparing to integrate over 240 newly trained doctors into the public health system, with internship completions and new intakes scheduled through July 2027.

Following these training efforts, Fiji’s Health Minister, Dr. Atonio Lalabalavu, has directed senior health managers to address administrative backlogs and improve response times to parliamentary, media, and public inquiries. This directive aims to ensure transparency and support the implementation of the National Health Strategic Plan.
