Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Ministry of Health is preparing a national tender to replace aging medical equipment. Officials noted that Fiji imports nearly all biomedical equipment and spare parts, which increases costs and affects delivery timelines. The donation provides immediate relief while the Ministry manages its broader biomedical equipment allocation.
