“WHAT we did in the past is okay, it worked but there is a call for change now and we need to change strategically to quickly capture the expectations of the society and deliver accordingly.”
This was the comment of Minister for Health Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete while addressing a meeting of senior managers of the ministry at the Holiday Inn in Suva.
He said health services continued to demand innovative ideas to address patient needs and, therefore, a vibrant and robust health system was needed to be established to counter such calls.
During the meeting, one of the issues raised was the call for professional development to ensure staff were competent in their profession.
The two-day meet is expected to assist and motivate senior managers to act on their vision to encourage and help them to see their weaknesses and overcome the obstacles to pursue the ministry’s vision of a healthy population.
