Fiji declares national HIV emergency as Pacific nation grapples with surge in cases
What happened
The country’s health and medical services minister, Dr Ratu Atonio Lalabalavu, said in a statement on social media that an outbreak-level response was no longer sufficient to address what he described an “epidemic”. The full impact is still being assessed. Figures may change as the situation develops.
Communities in Fiji are dealing with the immediate effects of this disease outbreak. The number of people affected is still being established.
Pray for
- Health workers responding to the outbreak
- Those who are unwell
- Everyone affected by this event
- Emergency responders and rescue teams
- Safety for those still in danger
