Doctor Laisa Naivalulevu was a doctor, mother and sportswoman who worked at the Nuffield Clinic in Tamavua, Suva.
A story about her work was published in The Fiji Times on March 25 1978. She said she enjoyed working at the Nuffield Clinic because children and mothers usually preferred a female physician.
Not that she did not want to work for everybody, but she noted that “children were much at home with me” and it was “easier for the mother and me and less dramatic for the child”.
A mother herself, Dr Laisa understood children and the feelings of mothers. Her satisfaction in treating patients came from mothers whose gratitude was obvious when their sick children regained their health.

FORMER Fiji Judo Federation gold medallist Nemani Takayawa is back on the judo mat training Fijian youngsters.
The former Japan-based judoka has a mission this year while trying to give back to community the investment Fiji did to him years ago. “I am back training young people and those who are interested to learn judo,” Takayawa said.
“I am conducting daily training sessions in centres around Suva and the interest is growing. My aim is by June to introduce and teach about 500 people the art of judo. We now have more than 100 judokas.
