A UN expert is calling on the Fiji government to address violence, discrimination and inequality that he says threaten the right to health.
Special Rapporteur Dainius Puras has ended an eight-day visit to Fiji where he assessed rights to physical and mental health.
Mr Puras says the mental health of the Fijian population is an emerging priority.
He also tells Christine Rovoi more attention should be paid to violence against women and children.
