Newly constructed pharmaceutical warehouse; Warehouse Tolu
A new $2.2 million pharmaceutical warehouse has been opened in Labasa to serve the Northern Division.
While officiating at the event, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said the warehouse Tolu will enable efficient supply chains for delivering quality medical services.
The new warehouse can store up to 4,000 items, which is expected to enhance medical supply provision to over 40 health facilities, benefiting approximately 150,000 people in the North.

The idea to construct the warehouse facility stemmed from the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, when all warehouses were based in Suva.
