According to the Ministry, the facility will now be designated to support the care and treatment of security personnel involved in the ongoing operations.
“In light of RFMF’s joint illicit drug operations with the Fiji Police Force, the Blackrock Medical Center will be designated to support the care and treatment of security personnel,” the Ministry said.
Members of the public in Nadi are being advised to seek medical services at alternative facilities, including Nadi Hospital and the Nadi Health Center located at the Sarada Building in Nadi Town.
