The Minister for Health & Medical Services Hon. Jone Usamate officially welcomed the Indian Cultural group who are in the country to perform Indian classical cultural programs.

Speaking to the audience at the event Mr Usamate said such cultural shows are very important to make people realize the need to preserve their culture and identity.

“The cultural show tonight will benefit all of us as we value our cultures and traditions alike and it is important that we hold them on top as they remind us of our cherished values”, said Mr Usamate.

He further said that the danger of losing our culture is inevitable if we do not continue to fertilize our culture into our lives and our families.

Meanwhile the accompanying medical team consisting of super specialists on cardiology, advanced orthopedic and oncology from Devyani Hospital in India have completed the screenings in Savusavu, Suva and Labasa.
