Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH) in Nadi is collaborating with medical insurers to provide coverage for patients. Parvish Kumar, the founder and CEO, emphasized that this initiative aligns with the Government’s aim to establish Fiji as a competitive and attractive medical tourism destination.
Kumar stated that insurers can now offer treatments to their customers at a fraction of the cost typically associated with overseas care. This initiative also presents opportunities for international insurance companies to save significant amounts by promoting medical holiday packages in Fiji.
Kumar highlighted the mutual benefits for patients, insurance providers, and Fiji’s tourism industry. He advocates for widespread marketing of this initiative as it supports the government’s vision for the country’s medical tourism.
With the establishment of a new cardiology department and the successful completion of the first triple graft heart bypass surgery, PSH is poised to provide advanced heart surgeries and other complex treatments previously unavailable in Fiji, all at significantly lower costs than overseas options.
For example, a heart bypass surgery in India can cost around $50,000 and could be up to six times higher in neighboring countries. PSH aims to redefine medical excellence in the Pacific by providing advanced care, including open-heart surgeries and routine procedures at a fraction of the cost compared to nearby nations. Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a skilled team of surgeons, they are committed to delivering world-class healthcare while showcasing Fiji’s famous hospitality.
This initiative presents a hopeful opportunity for Fiji to strengthen its economy through medical tourism while improving healthcare accessibility for patients. It not only opens doors for international patients but also fosters a sustainable model that benefits multiple sectors in Fiji.
In summary, Pacific Specialist Healthcare’s efforts to provide medical coverage and advanced surgical options in Fiji reflect a forward-thinking approach to healthcare and tourism, which may lead to enhanced healthcare services and economic growth in the region.
