The Fiji Cancer Society is set to enhance its patient services and outreach capabilities with the donation of a new vehicle, generously provided by Kontiki Finance. This addition aims to facilitate transportation of patients, conduct vital cancer screenings, and broaden health outreach services to remote and underserved areas throughout the country.
Kontiki Finance has demonstrated a strong commitment to community welfare, marking this donation as part of its ongoing partnership with the Fiji Cancer Society, which began in 2018. This latest vehicle represents the sixth one donated by the company, reinforcing its support for patients who often face significant barriers in accessing care.
The new vehicle will be instrumental in driving outreach initiatives, allowing staff and volunteers to travel to rural locations to deliver essential services, including early detection programs, counseling, and cancer awareness campaigns. By addressing distance, transportation difficulties, and financial obstacles, the vehicle will ensure that patients do not miss out on necessary care.
Leeanne Dalton, the Group Human Resources Manager at Kontiki Finance, spoke at the vehicle handover, emphasizing that their commitment goes beyond financial support. The company is dedicated to finding practical solutions that alleviate the struggles faced by cancer patients and their families.
Belinda Chan, the chief executive officer of the Fiji Cancer Society, expressed gratitude for Kontiki Finance’s unwavering support, highlighting that the addition of the vehicle would significantly bolster their ability to serve communities across Fiji. She noted that it would be crucial in transporting patients safely, expanding outreach programs, and conducting screenings, particularly in the Western Division, ensuring essential services reach those who need them the most.
This collaborative effort underscores the positive impact of corporate partnerships in addressing public health challenges and improving the lives of individuals facing serious health issues.
