Health in Fiji

Life expectancy in Fiji is 66 years for men and 72 years for women.[1] Maternal mortality was 59 per 100 000 live births in 2013.

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[2] finds that Fiji is fulfilling 76.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[3] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Fiji achieves 92.1% of what is expected based on its current income.[3] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 77.4% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[3] Fiji falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 60.1% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[3]
