Fiji’s Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete says his medical staff were present at the Savusavu Hospital when Adalyn Ramatau was brought in last Sunday.
He made the comment in light of claims made by a family member that there were no doctors or medical staff to attend to Mrs Ramatau when she arrived at the hospital.
“There was discussion that they were not there, but they were actually there. The nurses and the doctor were there,” Dr Waqainabete said.
He said the necessities were instituted to the patients and that the medical staff gave their best.
