"Healthcare services in the Yasawa Islands, are quite basic due to the remote location of the islands. The islands have a few health centers and nursing stations that provide primary healthcare services to the residents. These facilities are staffed by nurses and other healthcare professionals who are capable of handling common illnesses and minor injuries. However, for serious medical conditions or emergencies, patients often need to be transported to the mainland for treatment in larger hospitals. The government of Fiji has been making efforts to improve healthcare in the Yasawa Islands, including providing regular medical outreach programs. Despite these efforts, access to healthcare services can still be challenging due to factors such as transportation difficulties and limited resources," remarked another expat in Yasawa Islands, Fiji.
