Aspen Medical-managed Ba Hospital introduces nurse call system to improve patient communication

Patients at Aspen Medical-managed Ba Hospital will receive faster assistance and enhanced care following the introduction of a new Nurse Call System designed to improve patient safety and strengthen communication with healthcare staff.

The new system gives patients a direct and reliable way to alert nurses when they need assistance, supporting quicker response times and more efficient care delivery.

Aspen Medical chief operating officer Barry Herberts said the initiative marked a significant step forward in patient-centred care and modern healthcare delivery.

"Beyond Fiji, this sends a strong message across the Pacific that we're not just catching up, we're moving forward with real intent and commitment to our patients," he said.

"International best practice isn't just something we talk about anymore; it's now literally a button on the wall at Ba Hospital. Our patients will benefit from this every day."

Mr Herberts said the introduction of the system demonstrated Aspen Medical's commitment to improving patient experiences while raising the standard of healthcare delivery in Fiji and across the Pacific.
