Bringing Fiji Healthcare Closer to Home

Donation protected
No Borders Law Group is advancing its humanitarian and advocacy work through the Go Twogether Foundation , with a single, deeply human goal. To bring care closer to home for families living on Fiji’s remote islands.





The Go Twogether Foundation was established as a not-for-profit organisation in January 2022, allowing No Borders Law Group to extend its purpose beyond business. Built on the principle of Go Twogether for the benefit of humanity, the foundation reflects a simple belief. As the migrants of today, there is a responsibility to help the migrants of tomorrow navigate the challenges that come with movement, isolation, and access to essential services.

At the heart of this work in Fiji is the development of Community Health Center, a vital healthcare hub for thousands of island residents in the Yasawa Islands.

Why It Matters

For families in the Yasawa Islands, getting medical help is rarely simple. Villages are scattered across the sea, transport is limited, and there are no hospitals within the island group itself. When serious illness or injury strikes, patients often have no choice but to travel for hours by boat and road to reach Lautoka Hospital on Fiji’s main island.

Even routine care can involve difficult and costly journeys. While small nursing stations exist on some islands, the Community Health Center remains the primary medical facility for the northern Yasawa group. For many locals, reaching this clinic already requires long boat trips that depend on tides, fuel availability, and weather. Travelling beyond it to a mainland hospital is often unrealistic, especially in emergencies.

Strengthening and developing this local health hub is therefore not just an upgrade. It is a life-changing step that brings essential healthcare within reach of the people who need it most.

A Lifeline in a Remote Setting

The Community Health Center serves a large and diverse island population.

Population impact
  • Nacula Medical Area: 2,209 people
  • Kese Medical Area: 3,009 people
  • Total combined catchment: approximately 5,200 residents

Every day, these communities depend on the center for outpatient care, maternal and child health services, emergency treatment, and public health support. Without this facility, many would be forced to delay care, travel long distances, or wait for occasional visiting medical teams.

Everyday patient demand
  • Around 25 to 30 patients per day at Nacula
  • About 50 patients per day across the wider medical area
  • An average of three referrals per week to higher-level facilities

Dedicated Staff, Essential Services
Despite its remote location, the Health Center delivers a wide range of critical services with a small but committed team:
  • One Medical Officer
  • Two Nurses
  • One Boat Captain, essential for inter-island transport and emergencies
  • One Labourer

The services provided include general and special outpatient care, maternal and child health programs, family planning, emergency services, outreach clinics, and contact tracing.

Through the Go Twogether Foundation, No Borders Law Group aims to strengthen this capacity by supporting infrastructure development and delivering regular rural medical missions. These missions will help reach smaller and more isolated communities while easing pressure on existing staff.

The True Cost of Distance

The absence of nearby hospitals has real and serious consequences for island communities. Reaching mainland care can mean high fuel costs, unsafe travel in poor weather, and delays that turn treatable conditions into life-threatening emergencies. At low tide or during storms, transport can be impossible.

By improving and expanding the Community Health Center, the goal is simple but powerful. It is to reduce dangerous journeys, manage emergencies locally whenever possible, and give families confidence that help is close at hand when they need it most.

A Foundation Built on Real Needs

Our focus reflects what local leaders and residents have consistently shared. Healthcare must be accessible, dependable, and close to home. A well-equipped health center within the Yasawa Islands is not a luxury. It is a necessity for dignity, safety, and long-term community wellbeing.

Better facilities, combined with hands-on medical missions, will not only improve health outcomes. They will also strengthen trust, resilience, and hope across island communities.

A Clear Path to 2028

No Borders Law Group has set a clear goal to fully realise the Go Twogether Foundation and the enhanced Community Health Center by 2028.

In the years ahead, the initiative will focus on:
  • Developing and strengthening healthcare infrastructure
  • Supporting and empowering frontline medical workers
  • Delivering rural medical missions to underserved islands
  • Aligning efforts with Fiji’s national health priorities
  • Building sustainable, community-led healthcare solutions

This phased approach ensures that urgent needs are addressed now, while laying the foundation for lasting impact for future generations.

The success of the Go Twogether Foundation depends on collective support. Donations play a vital role in funding medical missions, improving facilities, supporting healthcare workers, and ensuring essential services remain available to island communities.

Every contribution helps bring life-saving care closer to home for thousands of Yasawa Islanders. Whether through financial support, partnerships, or advocacy, your involvement moves this vision closer to reality and closer to 2028, when no islander should have to risk their life travelling long distances for basic medical care.

Together, we can find a way forward to ensure that healthcare truly reaches even the most remote shores.
