MINISTRY URGES GENERAL PUBLIC TO TAKE PRECAUTION AGAINST LEPTOSPIROSIS

PUBLIC ADVISORY # 17 | 22 February 2026.

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services is urging the general public to take immediate precautionary measures following a recent death and admissions with suspected severe leptospirosis last week.

This is after the Ministry admitted three (3) teenagers in healthcare facilities around Suva, suspected of having leptospirosis. One of the three teenagers died upon being admitted at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital on Friday and the Ministry sends its condolences to the family.
All three cases have a history of swimming at Colo-i-Suva early this month.
Meanwhile, the Central Health Services Divisional Outbreak Response Team are carrying out their public health interventions and investigations.

The Ministry stresses that although current leptospirosis case reports may be low, it is still a deadly disease and therefore the need for public awareness and prevention measures.
The recent death highlights the ongoing risk, especially after periods of heavy rain and with these weather conditions more cases are to be expected. Leptospirosis is preventable and treatable if detected early. The Ministry urges everyone to take precautions seriously and seek medical care immediately if unwell.

TEMPORARY OPERATING HOURS – NUFFIELD HEALTH CENTRE

PUBLIC ADVISORY # 16 | 18 February 2026.

The Ministry of Health and Medical Services advises that due to ongoing power disruptions, Nuffield Health Centre will operate under temporary hours.

Effective immediately from Tuesday this week until further notice, the facility will open from: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM.

This follows the disconnection of the electricity supply over internal electrical safety concerns. Essential services are currently supported by generator power, but this is unsustainable, and urgent maintenance work is being arranged.

These temporary hours are necessary to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
