Forum Secretary General, Henry Puna, said it had been very difficult watching the events in Fiji, but he is heartened by the vaccination uptake across the country.
He says he hopes this small donation contributes meaningfully to the efforts to secure the health and safety of Fiji s frontline health workers and that of the most vulnerable members of society .
The donation is 5,000 N95 masks, 45,000 surgical masks, 10,000 medical gloves, 1,380 protective suits, 2,000 face shields, 30 forehead thermometers and 3 ventilators valued at USD38,000.
Puna is encouraging the Forum s Dialogue Partners and members of the international community to increase their support to the region.
