Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH) is revolutionizing medical care in Fiji and the Pacific region with its innovative healthcare strategies and ambitious goals aimed at achieving universal health coverage (UHC). As a prominent player in private healthcare, PSH is utilizing advanced technology, patient-focused models, and sustainable practices to make quality healthcare accessible to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, aligning with the Fiji National Development Plan 2025 – 2029.
With the belief that healthcare is a basic human right, PSH is dedicated to increasing access to quality care for all Fijians. The hospital has more than 100 beds across two facilities and has built its reputation on delivering advanced surgical services while also seeking to innovate beyond traditional models of care.
PSH is exploring collaborations with government entities and international health organizations to develop a sustainable framework that would facilitate universal health coverage in Fiji. The hospital is set to announce several significant initiatives in the upcoming year that align with objectives outlined in Chapter 6 of the National Development Plan 2025 – 2029. “As we expand, we aim to ensure that high-quality healthcare is accessible to all communities across Fiji and the Pacific. Our commitment to innovation and inclusivity is directed at addressing the most critical health challenges facing the region,” stated the CEO and founder, Mr. Parvish Kumar.
PSH is focused on adopting cutting-edge technologies to enhance patient care and outcomes. The integration of telemedicine allows patients from remote islands to consult specialists via virtual appointments, saving both travel expenses and time. Additionally, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging and diagnostics is enabling quicker and more accurate disease detection, leading to earlier interventions and improved patient results while alleviating pressures on healthcare staff.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has also transformed patient monitoring for chronic condition management. Wearable devices and sensors transmit real-time health data to hospital systems, allowing specialists to oversee vital metrics such as blood pressure and glucose levels remotely. This proactive approach is critical in preventing hospital admissions and lessening the burden on the healthcare system.
Sustainability is central to PSH’s long-term vision. The hospital is implementing eco-friendly practices, utilizing energy-efficient technologies, and aiming to reduce waste, promoting sustainable healthcare while lessening its environmental impact. Inclusivity and diversity play vital roles in the hospital’s operations; with a dynamic, young team focused on meeting the varied needs of all Fijians, PSH is also working on making healthcare more affordable through potential partnerships and sliding scale payment options for vulnerable populations.
As PSH expands, its contribution to universal health coverage in Fiji becomes increasingly significant. By merging technological innovations, sustainability, and a commitment to inclusivity, the hospital is establishing new standards in healthcare delivery, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity for better health outcomes. Pacific Specialist Healthcare is not only a leader in private healthcare but also a pioneer for a healthcare model that supports Fiji’s national objectives for universal health coverage, promising a healthier and more equitable future for all Fijians.
