Fiji National Health Systems Research Workshop report.

The National Health Systems Research Workshop which was organized in conjunction with the World Health Organization, Ministry of Health Fiji and the Fiji School of Medicine was history in its making, the very first for the nation. It was based on the six building blocks as defined in the Framework of Action for WHO; (i) good health services, (ii) a well performing health workforce, (iii) a well-functioning health information system, (iv) access to essential medical products, vaccines and technologies, (v) a good health financing system and (vi) leadership and governance. A total of 27 papers were presented over the two day program with hundred attendees. SWOT analysis for the workshop was done. Participants were given the opportunity to critically appraise local research papers and hoped that this became a regular event.
