Online learning can be a valuable strategy to build workforce capacity in Fiji, especially given the challenges of geography and resource limitations. It allows health workers in remote and outer island areas to access training and updates without needing to travel long distances, saving time and costs.
With growing internet access and mobile technology use in Fiji, online platforms can offer flexible, continuous professional development tailored to local health priorities. However, to be effective, challenges such as reliable connectivity, digital literacy, and culturally relevant content must be addressed.
Overall, online learning can complement traditional training, helping to upskill the workforce more efficiently and equitably across Fiji’s diverse settings.
