The Reproductive and Family Health Association of Fiji (RFHAF) was inaugurated in June 1996. It has played a key role in shaping national family planning policy and in promoting sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education, particularly among young people and communities in which myths about the dangers of family planning prevail. The use of contraceptives is still believed by many to cause cancer and immature childbirth. RFHAF has also undertaken concerted national advocacy work (with a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS) through its involvement with the National Advisory Committee on AIDS and the country co-ordinating mechanism. As such, it played a critical role in securing the HIV Prevention and Treatment Decree which outlaws discrimination, promotes counselling, testing and reporting, assures confidentiality, and legislates on the supply of blood products. The organization’s committed promotion of wider awareness of SRH issues is changing attitudes, and as attitudes change, uptake of services increase.

CEMOPLAF was founded in 1974, as an institution dedicated to offering health services and products, with an emphasis on sexual and reproductive health, to people of medium and low economic resources and thus contribute to improving the quality of life of the population. Cemoplaf is a network of 23 centres nationwide, with a broad portfolio of health services and a team of renowned professionals who have dedicated years of experience to provide the best care to our users.
