Fiji’s International Medical Camps, held annually since 2006, ran their latest round August 23-29, 2025, bringing free medical services and health education to six Fijian communities that otherwise lack access.
The week opened with a Seminar for Medical Students at UPSM on Saturday, August 23, drawing more than 300 attendees. Camps then moved through Votualevu Public School in Nadi, where doctors examined 380 patients despite limited Sunday transport; Tuva Primary School in Sigatoka, where 358 patients were seen and 33 referred, including several cancer diagnoses; Veisaru Sanatan School in Ba, where 305 patients were treated with support from local health officers; Ra High School in Nalawa, the most remote site, where 251 patients were seen despite severe weather; Toko Sanatan Primary School in Tavua, where 351 patients were treated; and finally the newly completed Sri Sathya Sai Specialist Center in Viseisei, Lautoka, which saw 613 patients and 43 referrals, including endoscopies booked earlier in the week. In all, 2,258 patients registered and were treated across the six camps.
The effort drew 94 health professionals and volunteers from New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Canada, more than 20 local health professionals daily, and about 45 medical and nursing students from UPSM, spanning specialties from cardiology to dentistry alongside pharmacy, dietary, and diagnostic support.
