Non-emergencies: medical and dental

Savusavu has a private medical clinic run by Dr. Ishaque. The clinic is at Nakama Road at the base of the Hot Springs Hotel. Open hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm (later appointments until 10pm on request). You don’t need an appointment but it’s a good idea to call ahead and make sure the doctor is there: (679) 8850721 or (679) 9239043, or email Dr. Ishaque at [email protected]

There are also three thermal pools at the clinic fed by the natural hot springs, which are available for therapeutic bathing. See more here.

Savusavu also has a public hospital, but this is a small hospital with limited resources. There is a dentist at the hospital. The phone number is (679) 8850444.

There is a larger hospital across the island in Labasa, phone number (679) 8812522. There are also dentists in Labasa.
