The Colonial War Memorial Hospital (CWMH) recently hosted a well-attended clean-up campaign, which took place on Saturday. Various organizations and businesses came together to enhance the hospital’s facilities, reflecting a strong community commitment to public health and environmental upkeep.
Dr. Esther Williams, chairperson of the CWM Hospital Board of Visitors, expressed her gratitude for the enthusiastic participation. She noted the presence of multiple charitable organizations contributing to the event, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about the hospital’s role in the community. She specifically thanked Fiji Chemicals for supplying cleaning materials, as well as the Latter-Day Saints church for their long-standing support in funding improvements to the children’s ward and operational areas of the hospital.
Volunteer activities were organized at the former laundry car park, ensuring that all participants were assigned tasks aimed at improving the hospital’s surroundings. The clean-up spanned from the morning to noon and concluded with a provided lunch and entertainment for attendees.
This event aligns with broader community efforts across Fiji to enhance public health initiatives and foster a cleaner environment. Previous similar campaigns, including clean-up drives targeting mosquito breeding sites, highlight the community’s increasing engagement in health and environmental issues. Collaborative efforts like these not only address immediate challenges but also cultivate a sense of responsibility and pride among community members toward maintaining their local healthcare facilities.
With the commitment demonstrated during the CWMH clean-up, there is a hopeful outlook for continued improvements in healthcare services and community involvement moving forward. These initiatives serve as a reminder of the collective power to generate positive changes for the well-being of the community.
