A three-month Healthy Steps Project has been launched to train nurses in diabetic foot care and reduce Fiji’s high rate of amputations. Thirty-five nurses will undergo specialised training to better detect and treat diabetes-related complications. Diabetes Fiji Chair Taabish Akbar says the program is urgently needed, as Fiji records an average of three amputations every day. The project is a joint initiative between Diabetes Fiji and the Ministry of Health, supported with $30,000 in funding from the Australian government. Stream the best of Fiji on VITI+.
