Sri Sathya Sai Global Council Fiji is hosting six free medical camps in the Western Division from Sunday, offering check-ups, dental, eye care, hearing tests, and free medicines.
Good news for residents of Fiji’s Western Division: a series of free medical camps is set to begin this Sunday.
The Sri Sathya Sai Global Council Fiji says six outreach days will bring healthcare services to underserved communities across the region.. The programme will be supported by a team of more than 100 medical professionals, allied health workers and volunteers from Fiji, Australia and New Zealand, according to the organiser’s announcement.
The camps are planned to run daily from 8am to 4pm, with locations scheduled in Sigatoka, Nadi, Tavua, Ba and Lautoka.. Organisers say the services will include general and specialist check-ups, dental care, eye examinations and hearing tests, alongside screenings for conditions such as diabetes and cervical cancer.
A key part of the initiative is what happens after the tests.. Misryoum understands the organisers are preparing prescribed medications free of charge for patients who need them, and reading glasses will also be provided where required.. For many families, that practical step can make a noticeable difference—especially where follow-up appointments or pharmacy costs can be a barrier.
Officials are also encouraging people to bring their Fiji Ministry of Health National Health Card to the camps, along with any regular medications.. That small preparation can help healthcare teams review existing treatment plans and identify whether ongoing medicines still match a person’s current needs.
Speaking about the effort, Chair for Zone 3 Countries Mr. Singanayagam Indrapalan said the camps reflect a commitment to ensuring healthcare is accessible to all. He added that the outreach is also an opportunity for volunteers to serve communities and uphold the principle of “Love All, Serve All.”
From a community perspective, free camps like this tend to do more than catch health problems early.. They can also reduce the pressure on local clinics by bringing certain assessments to people who may otherwise delay care.. In places where transport, time off work, or costs deter medical visits, a one-day or short-term service can be the difference between getting checked and postponing again.
There’s also a wider public health angle to consider.. Screening for diabetes and cervical cancer, along with vision and hearing checks, addresses health issues that are often silent in the early stages.. When communities have access to basic screening and timely referral, the chances of preventing complications improve—an outcome that matters not just for individuals, but for families and caregivers as well.
Misryoum notes that the schedule across multiple towns—rather than concentrating in one area—signals an attempt to meet people closer to where they live.. If attendance is strong, the camp model could become a valuable reference point for future outreach, particularly for services that require both clinical expertise and equipment.
For residents in the Western Division, the message is straightforward: if you’ve been meaning to get checked, review your existing treatment, or simply need a dental, eye or hearing assessment, the free camps offer a time-bound chance to access care.. With clinics open from 8am to 4pm, organisers are urging people to plan ahead and bring the requested documents and medications.
