PSH Hospitals is gaining recognition as a premier training hub for international doctors, with the recent addition of young Australian clinician Dr. Dylan Foskett to its expanding cardiac program. His relocation to Fiji signifies the hospital’s ambitious goal to establish itself as a regional center of excellence in advanced surgical procedures and specialized medical care.
Dr. Foskett was inspired to join PSH after learning about the hospital’s impressive cardiac services and the expertise of cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Sanjeev Khulbey. He has described the Nadi facility as modern and clean, equipped to standards he is familiar with from Sydney, which helped facilitate his easy transition into practical training.
He highlights the strong teamwork within the hospital, noting the effective collaboration between cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery departments. The level of communication and the smooth patient flow remind him of the operations at prestigious Australian hospitals.
Training under Dr. Khulbey has been a significant milestone in Dr. Foskett’s career. His hands-on experience observing complex procedures in the operating theater offers a unique learning opportunity that would be rare in larger healthcare systems.
Aside from the clinical atmosphere, Dr. Foskett appreciates the warm and welcoming nature of Fiji, which eased his adjustment. He recognizes that young Fijian clinicians are presented with exceptional chances to progress swiftly in their careers, arguing that smaller healthcare environments empower dedicated individuals to take on leadership roles early and influence their areas of expertise.
Parvish Kumar, the Director and Founder of PSH, emphasizes that Dr. Foskett’s experience exemplifies the hospital’s mission to elevate medical standards and foster collaboration throughout the Pacific region. He encourages surrounding health services to utilize PSH as a training resource, as sharing knowledge will be beneficial for the entire area.
PSH Hospitals is actively positioning itself as a key player in the Pacific for advanced healthcare, continuing to attract specialists and growing interest from international medical communities in various specialties, including cardiac care, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and more.
