Skin cancer is a year-round issue
More than 300 New Zealanders die from skin cancer every year.
Homes of Hope is a Fiji-based charity working with young women and children who are victims of, or are vulnerable to, situations of forced sexual encounters, sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse and violence. Through direct care at their residential campus and community programs, Homes of Hope are giving Fijian women a fresh start of hope, freedom, dignity and life.
When one of our nurses, Sarah, visited Fiji recently, she visited the charity, which is based in Suva. Sarah was able to provide the charity with approximately $400 worth of medical supplies donated by Moorhouse Medical Centre and Moorhouse Unichem Pharmacy. The team at Homes with Hope were thrilled and thankful for our support.

The theme for this year’s World COPD Day (18th November) is: It’s not too late.
Medical Officers working in our walk-in Accident & Medical Clinic see patients in order of clinical priority or medical urgency. Patients are triaged by a nurse, to assess their condition, and monitored in the waiting room just in case their condition deteriorates while they are waiting to see a doctor.
