Sharma highlighted that this new initiative would significantly enhance the lives of sugarcane farmers. He expressed gratitude for the partnership with PSH and stated that healthcare services would also be accessible to cane farmers in Labasa. Collaborative discussions focused on outreach efforts to educate cane farmers about wellness and healthcare, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
