Archiving the History of Anaesthesia in Fiji is one of the purposes of this site.

The major centres where Aanesthesia is being carried out in the Colonial War Memorial Hospital in Suva , the Lautoka Hospital in the Western Health Area and Labasa Hospital in the Northern Health Area. The latter facilities contain high dependency intensive care units while the CWMH has an eight bed intensive care and high dependency unit that is run by the Departement of Anaesthesia in all 3 facilities. These centres also provide retrieval services for the transport of critically ill patients to the centres and also as referrals to the CWMH.

The Private sector also provides services in Anaesthesia. The Suva Private Hospital provides Aaesthesia and HDU facility. Other centres are the DeAsa's Nasese Medical/Surgical Centre and the Waimanu Road Medical Centre.
