Contestants of Miss Universe Fiji visited the maternity ward at Navua Hospital yesterday as part of their community engagement activities. During the visit, they met with Dr. Kapil Swamy, a senior doctor from the Serua/Namosi district, midwife Samantha Banner from the Navua Maternity Unit, and Salote Matanayawa, Commander of the Navua Command Centre. The contestants took the opportunity to ask questions about the current challenges facing young mothers in the country.
In addition, the participants attended an educational session led by Melissa White, the director of the International Seakeepers Society for the South Pacific, which focused on oceanographic research and conservation efforts. The Miss Universe Fiji event has partnered with The Pearl Resort & Spa as the official host for the upcoming 2024 Miss Universe Fiji National Final.
The crowning of Miss Universe Fiji is set to take place tonight at Pacific Harbour.
