The Program
The Fiji Program Support Facility (the Facility) was established in 2017 to support and implement Australia’s aid programs such as health, education, Australia Awards and governance in Fiji. The Facility also supports the Australia Awards and education programs in Tuvalu. The Facility integrates cross-cutting themes, including gender equality, disability inclusion, climate change, emergency preparedness and response and civil society engagement, across sectoral programs. In particular, the Facility seeks to strengthen program outcomes by better addressing the needs of targeted beneficiaries including those who are often marginalised.
Australia is supporting Fiji’s health sector to respond to health challenges through the Facility’s Health Program. Its high-level objectives focus on:
Date Time
Ramsay to pilot short stay arthroplasty
Ramsay Australia will pilot a new short stay model of care, giving doctors a greater say in how their patients receive care.
The ‘Short Stay Arthroplasty Pilot’, which has been adapted for Australia, aims to give patients and doctors the support and confidence needed to recover at home after a total knee or hip arthroplasty.
Eligible patients receive education, home based support and enrolment in a clinical pathway designed specifically for home based recovery within 23-47 hours of surgery.
Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at St George Private Hospital, Dr Samuel MacDessi said the pilot was being established to ensure it was a safe and efficient option for surgeons to use for their patients in the future.
