The meeting also included a presentation of the new Fiji Airways Customer Relationship Management System which has been supported by the Australian-funded Market Development Facility.

At the Lautoka Hospital, he heard from frontliners about their experiences during the height of the pandemic, thanking them for their efforts in responding to the outbreak.

Lautoka Hospital also received medical equipment and PPE supplies under Australia’s COVID-19 support to Fiji. This included N95 masks, hospital gowns, face shields, ventilators and oxygen regulators. Medical personnel from two Australian Medial Assistance Teams (AUSMAT) were deployed to Lautoka Hospital this year and worked with staff in responding to the outbreak.
