About Fiji

The Moana Pasifika Chapter of the Australasian Epidemiological Association is delighted to be hosting this year’s scientific meeting in Fiji. Fiji provides a vital opportunity to connect with scholars across Australasia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the wider Pacific region. In addition, it offers a valuable regional context for epidemiological thinking, particularly in relation to infectious disease, climate health, and health equity across the Pacific.
