Labasa Hospital is now the only public hospital in Fiji to provide dedicated hysteroscopy services to wom­en in Fiji.

This was made possible through Friends of Fiji Health (FOFH), a New Zealand-based charitable organisation.

Auckland-based Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist, Dr Sunil Pillay, one of the found­ing trustees, has been visiting Fiji to conduct free surgeries and deliver training to medical staff since 2010.
