Friends4Fiji IncorporatedRegistered

We provided development assistance in the form of education, resources and activities to disadvantaged young Fijian medical students, building their capacity during their journey through medical school and clinical practice. We supplemented the tertiary education of medical students in both Australia and Fiji, by providing educational materials such as textbooks, computers and stethoscopes (either donated or at subsidised prices), facilitating exchange teaching programs between Universities, and facilitating student exchanges between Universities. We ran online teaching initiatives that advance the education of Fijian medical students. We also educated Australian medical students on health requirements specific to the Pacific Islands, that are often not taught in the formal University curriculum encouraging them to take an interest in global health.
