Fiji citizens will now be able to view the list of General Practitioners (GPs), Dental Practitioners (DPs) and Medical Laboratories (MLs) participating under the Free Health Scheme in their areas and their locations using the online portal launched by the Assistant Minister for Finance Esrom Immanuel yesterday evening (28.03.23) in Suva.

The portal will enable Fiji citizens to access information regarding public private partnership (PPP) health initiatives faster and with a click of a button by using the online platform on their tablets, phones or computers.

Asst. Minister Immanuel said the portal will streamline necessary processes for the administration of the PPP health initiatives implemented by the Government.

“Through this online platform, the GPs, DPs and MLs under the scheme will have access to all patient information for patients seen under the PPP scheme, including those seen by other participating GPs,” he said.

Currently, the GP scheme has around 35 general practitioner firms / medical centres with over 40 GP outlets, seven medical laboratories and three dental firms participating under the health schemes.

The mandatory requirement for patients to be seen under the PPP scheme is Birth Registration Number or BRN and a photo ID.

Asst. Minister thanked the FijiCare Insurance Limited for developing the online portal which will bring in much needed operational efficiencies.

The online portal will be rolled out by GP’s, DP’s and ML’s as follows:

• Central Division – April 24, 2023

• Western Division – May 08, 2023

• Northern Division and others – May 22, 2023
