The Ministry of Health has established “Clinical Teams” of Specialists in addition to the many Public Health workers performing outreach programs in Sigatoka, Rakiraki, Navosa, Nadarivatu, Nabouwalu and Savusavu.
These teams will facilitate community awareness and public health measures to reduce the risk of the spread of Leptospirosis, Typhoid and Dengue (LTD) and will further ensure that community screening remains a priority for early diagnosis and treatment of LTDs and any other undiagnosed medical problems.
The Clinical Teams will be slowly returning to their base Divisional hospitals while their preventative health community colleagues will continue to work in collaboration with the community to manage and control the case clusters as they are identified.
