In just 18 months, Lautoka Hospital has increased gynaecological surgical volumes by more than 80%, with every operating list now led by local teams.
Dr Vasitia Cati shares how the Australia/NZ–Fiji Endoscopic Gynaecology Group (AFEG) is helping transform women’s healthcare in Fiji through specialist training, stronger systems and greater access to minimally invasive surgery.
The challenge was never a lack of talent, but ensuring specialists had the equipment, resources and support to thrive. With training now embedded at Fiji National University, this model could help strengthen women’s healthcare across the Pacific.
Dr Vasitia Cati recently presented this inspiring work at our Oceania Pacific Health Association conference.
