SIX TEAMS FOR WOMEN'S ⚽SUPER LEAGUE 🏆

The Fiji Football Association (Fiji FA) women’s super league will feature six teams this season.

According to Fiji FA Media it is set to make a strong return this season with a revamped format with the exclusion of one team.

Fiji FA competitions manager Shaniya Shankar said the change aims to elevate the competition’s intensity and deliver a higher standard of football for fans and players alike.

“The streamlined format ensures that only the most competitive teams participate, promising fans high-quality football throughout the season,” Shankar told Fiji FA Media.

The reduction of the number of teams is to strengthen competitiveness and efficiency.

“This change aligns with Fiji FA’s vision to raise the standard of women’s football and prepare players for higher levels of competition, including regional and international tournaments,” she said.

“The revised format will bring out the best in our players and coaches while providing fans with thrilling matches,” Shankar added.

A round-robin playoff will be held next month between the three lowest-ranked teams from last season to determine the final six teams for the league.

The lowest ranked teams are Suva, Tailevu Naitasiri, and Nadroga. The outcome of this play-off will decide which teams secure their place in the super league for this season.

Meanwhile last season’s champions, Ba women have qualified for the OFC (Oceania Football Confederation) women’s Champions league in Tahiti.

The achievement underscores the progress of women’s football in Fiji and the league’s role in preparing teams for higher levels of competition.

FIRST EVER HEART BYPASS SURGERY IN FIJI

First ever quadruple graft heart bypass surgery carried out Nadi’s Pacific Specialist Healthcare Hospital.

The first ever quadruple graft heart bypass surgery without a single drop of blood transfusion because of the patient's religious beliefs has been carried out at Nadi’s Pacific Specialist Healthcare Hospital.

A team of highly qualified specialists carried out the complex and delicate procedure successfully at the Pacific Specialist Healthcare Hospital.

The quadruple graft bypass surgery which was all this while unheard of in Fiji was a result of months of planning and consultations between the patient and the hospital management and specialist team.

The hospital says the surgery which was led by cardiology surgeon Dr Sanjeev Khulbey who has thirty-years of experience up his sleeves was carried out within a duration of six hours.

Dr Khulbey says since the patient who is now recovering extremely well belongs to the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation, the surgery was done without the use of a single drop of blood transfusion.

He says because of this special requirement of the patient, the team worked very cautiously ensuring there's minimal loss of blood while carrying out the six-hour long surgery.

Dr Khulbey says out of the four grafts, three were performed as the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) which is a complex open-heart surgery that reroutes blood flow to the heart.

He says it is performed when coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart are blocked.

The cardiology surgeon says the fourth graft required a Coronary Endarterectomy to be performed as one of the arteries was hundred percent blocked with plaque which had to be removed through this delicate procedure before proceeding with the grafting process.

PSH founder and chief executive officer Parvish Kumar says the hospital is now well-equipped and ready to receive members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation for any medical treatment they may require.

Kumar says this successful surgery led by Dr Khulbey is a testament in itself that PSH respects the religious beliefs of every patient that enters their hospital to get well and they will strive to provide the best in service at all times.

He says the team of Cardio Thoracic specialists have carried out three back-to-back open-heart surgeries each day from Monday January 13th to Wednesday January 15th with a hundred percent success rate while there are many patients who are currently at a review stage before proceeding with the option of carrying out surgical treatment procedures.

Kumar says each procedure has been unique and challenging in its own right and their team managed the entire operations very professionally and to the best world standards in their newly developed state-of-the-art cardiology unit.

He says there is more exciting news coming for 2025 with the first one being that they now have a highly trained Consultant Interventional Cardiologist based fulltime at their Nadi hospital in Legalega.

Kumar adds the hospital management has great pleasure in introducing Dr Srikar Miryala who is one of the best in his field.

He says Dr Miryala will now be based in-house and be available during emergency calls also.

Kumar says they have accommodated Dr Srikar near the hospital vicinity so that he will be able to attend to any emergency situations that come to them.

PSH Nadi now operates 24/7 and patients are welcome to visit them any time of the day or night on any day of the week.

A stunning moment captures a Mozambique spitting cobra (Naja mossambica) unleashing a precise jet of venom into the air. This highly venomous snake, known for its defensive instincts, can spit venom with remarkable accuracy, reaching up to 60 cm from its fangs.

Usually shy and reclusive, the cobra uses this unique defense mechanism when it feels threatened. Its venom, packed with powerful neurotoxins, can cause severe damage if it comes into contact with the eyes, potentially leading to blindness. In rare cases, exposure can be fatal.

This incredible display showcases the cobra’s remarkable adaptations for survival in the wild.
