HIV PREVENTION CAMPAIGN LAUNCH & INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2026

The University of Fiji marked International Youth Day 2026 with the launch of its HIV Prevention, Care and Awareness Campaign, at the Saweni Campus today.

Officially opened by the Assistant Minister for Health and Medical Services, Hon. Penioni Ravunawa, the campaign brought together students, staff, health professionals and community stakeholders to promote HIV awareness, prevention, testing and the elimination of stigma.

Hon. Ravunawa urged young people to “Know Your Status”, emphasising that addressing HIV requires collective responsibility and greater awareness among Fiji’s young population.

The programme featured educational sessions, student debates, expert discussions, quizzes, entertainment and free HIV testing.

Together, we can build a Fiji where awareness replaces stigma, prevention is prioritised and people living with HIV are treated with dignity and respect.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend, colleague, and peer, Sushmita Devi, who passed away peacefully yesterday (3/8/26)

Sushmita was a dedicated Year 5 MBBS student at the Umanand Prasad School of Medicine and Health Sciences (UPSMHS) and a committed member of the University Student Board (USB) for the past two years.

Hailing from Mulumulo, Nadi, she was known by all who knew her as a remarkably bright, passionate, and deeply committed individual.

Whether in the lecture halls, clinical settings, or working tirelessly for the student body, Sushmita brought warmth, diligence, and a genuine drive to help others. Her loss leaves a profound void in our university community and in the hearts of everyone whose lives she touched.

We extend our deepest, most heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, and friends during this incredibly difficult time. May her soul rest in peace.

“Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.”
