Ministry of Health and Medical Services, Fiji: National Strategic Plan 2016-2020 Executive Version

The National Strategic Plan (NSP) is the primary guiding document supporting our efforts to improve health and is an invaluable resource to keep us focused and on track over the next five years.

The National Strategic Plan 2016-2020 has been developed to align with the Government's priorities for the health sector, the global post 2015 development agenda, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which builds upon the Millennium Development Goals that preceded them. The "Healthy Islands" (HI) vision of the Pacific has also been considered as one of the key frameworks in developing this document. Based on the HI vision MoHMS has initiated the "Wellness Fiji" approach that forms the basis for reorientation of Fiji's Primary Health Care (PHC) delivery towards reaching people in the various "settings" in which they live, work and play and through expanded partnerships between peripheral health workers and local communities. Many of the themes that are highlighted in these development frameworks are cross-cutting and thus are integrated throughout the NSP.
