FIJI is still struggling to tackle cardiovascular diseases, says Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete.

He said the challenge in effectively addressing the issue was in the lifestyle people chose to live.

Dr Waqainabete said a collective approach was needed when dealing with the matter.

“We can’t say that we’ve done enough, we have to keep on doing it and it is important to see that there is a national approach,” he said.
