The Director of Fiji Health Sector Improvement Programme, Dr Vilikesa Rabukawaqa while officially launching the website at the Ministry of Health Headquarters in Toorak, Suva said the new website is very user-friendly, as well easy to update and access information. “I am talking with confidence that this is going to be a user friendly functional web site and I am confident that with the Ministry of Health staff having the site more friendly looking and less confusing, they will be able to put in more information that will make the website very informative,” Mr Rabukawaqa said. He said six years ago the Health Ministry had a website, however it was difficult to update and it was than and there the Ministry decided to develop another website which would be more user- friendly and easy to update. “Four years ago the Ministry had decided that it needed a new website that would be user friendly, less confusing for both the MOH unit that wishes to post information on the website and users who would like to observe what was on the website.” Mr Rabukawaqa said apart from a home page the new website would comprise of pages containing vast information about the following: “Apart from a Home page where you can find the guide for all the other pages, the pages currently available now are: A page for Annual Reports, a page for Curative Health, a page for FPBS, Fiji School of Nursing, a page for Health Information, Medical Council, Nurses Board, Oral Health, Public Health, Research, Training, Vacancies, PSHWSW &PM’s address, a page for contacting the Ministry of Health, Policies of the Ministry of Health, Application Forms for Ministry of Health, a page on PATIS,” he said. The website will also contain information about the following: A page on a map of Fiji identifying the Health facilities and their localities.
