Medanta Doctors in Fiji: Successful OPD Camp in Suva and Nadi for Cancer & Heart Care

In May 2026, Vaidam organised an OPD camp in Fiji, bringing two senior specialists from Medanta - The Medicity, Gurgaon to meet patients in person. The medical camp in Fiji was held in two cities, Suva and Nadi, and gave local patients the chance to consult cancer and heart specialists from India close to home.

This post looks back at how the OPD camp in Fiji was run, which doctors took part, and how it helped patients understand their treatment options.

About the OPD Camp in Fiji

Many patients in Fiji travel overseas for advanced cancer and heart care. This camp made the first step easier by allowing them to speak directly with experienced Medanta doctors in Fiji before deciding anything about treatment.

The camp covered two specialities: an oncology camp for cancer-related concerns, and a cardiology camp for heart-related concerns. It ran for four days in total, with two days in Suva (27–28 May 2026) followed by two days in Nadi (29–30 May 2026).

Across both cities, the doctors held a good number of consultations: 23 patients were seen in Suva and 17 in Nadi, bringing the total to 40 patients over the four days.

What Services Were Offered During the Medical Camp in Fiji?

The focus of the camp was clear, simple guidance. Patients could:

• Meet a cancer specialist from India or a heart specialist from India face to face
• Have their medical history, reports and scans reviewed
• Understand their diagnosis in plain language
• Discuss the treatment options open to them, including care available in India
• Get a second opinion from Indian doctors before making any decision

The camp was about consultation and information only. Any treatment decision was left to each patient, their family and their treating doctors.

Why Do Patients in Fiji Choose Treatment in India?

India has become a popular choice for international patients seeking advanced cancer and cardiac care. Hospitals such as Medanta offer modern technology, experienced specialists and structured care pathways. For many families in the Pacific, medical tourism in India also offers a practical balance of quality and cost.

Speaking to the doctors in person at the camp helped patients judge for themselves whether travelling to India for cancer or heart treatment could be a sensible next step.
