Governance

VSHC meets the operational requirements of the Ministry of Health.
 

Past / Present / Future

The operations of the VSHC would not have been possible without the help of key people within the Ministry of Health, Fiji National University and the Community. At the outset assistance and encouragement was also received from Australian and New Zealand High Commissions through their small project grants awards.

Other donors and assistance received include Friends of Pacific, South Pacific Moana Trust Hospital, ...... and many individual donors who wish to remain anonymous assisted at the beginnning of the health centre.

Over the years funding from several individuals, a couple of companies and development partners such as European Union and Aus Aid has allowed VSHC to further its Health mission.
