Red Cross Head Resigns

The Director General of the Fiji Red Cross Society Ilisapeci Roko­tunidau has resigned with immedi­ate effect.

Ms Rokotunidau has decided to fo­cus on her health after feeling un­well for the past few months.

Society National President Sala Toganivalu said the former direc­tor leaves an exceptionally talent­ed team in a place and position for continued growth.

“Under Ms Rokotunidau’s leader­ship, the Fiji Red Cross was able to demonstrate the value of the Soci­ety’s humanitarian role, beyond cy­clone response and relief work, to encompassing support of the Min­istry of Health during COVID-19, reaffirming our auxiliary support role to Government,” she shared.

Ms Rokotunidau joined the organ­isation in November 2019 where she led her team in unprecedented times of tropical cyclones, epidem­ics and a global pandemic.
