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.
