The Fiji Police Health Audit got underway at the Fiji Police Headquarters this morning.
The Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho says the audit while assisting organisational efforts of enhancing wellness and wellbeing, is also intended to create aawareness so members of the organization are able to better understand their health status.
The Commissioner of Police said, “Often we think that we are healthy but there are underlying health issues that can only be picked up through such health audits”.
“We tend to only seek medical attention when we are sick, but for some that may be too late, and by having a thorough health audit conducted, members of the Force both Police officers and civilians will know their health status and take preventative measures”.
Brigadier General Qiliho said having an unhealthy workforce will impact operational outputs.
The Health audit is being conducted by the Force Medical team led by Dr Navitalai Seaduadua and HealthPlus Diagnostics.
