Fiji International Medical Camps began in 2006 and have been held annually ever since with teams of health-professionals and other volunteers from New Zealand, Australia and occasionally from other countries, assisted by volunteers from Fiji. The camps bring free medical services and health education to Fijian communities who, through isolation, lack of resources, or lack of knowledge were unable to access these services. This report provides an overview of the latest camp held over 23 – 29 August 2025 which progressively provided services through six different locations supported by a large team of professionals and volunteers.

Groups throughout the SSSIO in Australia came together to have a national service supporting the Birthing Kit Foundation in its life-saving activities for women and children at risk in childbirth situations in areas of inadequate medical services.
