Being centrally located it serves as a hub for the various groups of other island countries. Traditionally a trading post, it boasts an agricultural based economy. There are rich deposits of gold, fish and oil in our trade and economic zone. Fiji today, is also an important trade, telecommunication and tourism destination. The population is approximately 800 000 with 60% urban based. Great cultural diversity, tourism, travel exposure, turbulent politics and rapid urbanization pose new meaning to the planning and delivery of primary health care.
