The Rotuma Medical Sub-Division has taken a proactive step toward improving patient care and sustainability by constructing a greenhouse and planting fresh, locally-sourced vegetables and herbs.

This initiative is expected to enhance the quality of meals prepared for patients by providing direct access to nutritious, home-grown produce.

It also reduces reliance on external food suppliers, supporting both food security and healthier meal options.

By cultivating their own fresh ingredients, the medical team aims to promote better nutrition, boost patient recovery, and set a leading example of sustainable healthcare practices.
