The Pacific is a hotspot for emergencies, with 11 disasters and 26 outbreaks in 2018.
Fiji’s Emergency Medical Assistance Team (FEMAT) is the Pacific’s first WHO-verified Emergency Medical Team.
FEMAT can respond to emergencies and disasters in Fiji, across the Pacific and beyond, providing medical services for up to 100 patients a day.
With support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade ([ Ссылка ]), New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade ([ Ссылка ]) and WHO ([ Ссылка ]), this self-sufficient team of health professionals and their mobile field hospital are now ready to deploy. This notable achievement by the Government of Fiji ([ Ссылка ]) will save lives at home and abroad.
