The Nadi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) is expanding its investments into private hospitals.

It stated such investments such as that with Pacific Specialist Health Care Hospital (PSH) and Heart International plus Dialysis Hub in Nadi were already attracting many patients from Pacific island countries and elsewhere.

“PSH will be expanding further with completion of another Sun Insurance building adjacent to the present site,” the NCCI said in a statement.

It also stated the need for an international class multipurpose sports and events stadium.

“Hopefully this need can be fast tracked.

“We are missing out on many international sports and other events and we have every other infrastructure available here in Nadi to cater for any number of commuters.”

The NCCI said an investment close to a billion dollars or more could be easily paid off in a few years.

“We have made submissions to this effect to consider in the National Budget to be announced on June 28.”
