Welcome to Friends of Fiji Heart Foundation
Since the formation of the Friends of Fiji Heart Foundation (FOFHF) in 2006, the Foundation has sent a mission to Fiji for each successive year to provide FREE cardiac surgery to the underprivileged people of Fiji.
Over the years the Foundation’s focus has expanded to include open heart surgery, pacemaker checks and implants, angiography, stenting, etc. Since 2006, treatments worth over NZ$10m have been performed with ZERO administrative costs.
The mission involves sending a volunteer team of over 55 doctors, technicians and nurses who give up to 3 weeks of their time to provide the skills and expertise that are not present but needed so critically in Fiji.
