Tonga

Rocketship has been a proud partner of the Tongan Ministry of Health since 2017, working together to strengthen the Kingdom’s health system with a focus on training primary care specialists. The inaugural cohort of Tongan doctors were enrolled in the Diploma of Family Medicine programme at Fiji National University in 2018 and – through the support of Rocketship’s Trainer Team – were able to stay living and working in Tonga while completing their training. This pioneering initiative was the first time a remotely delivered model of postgraduate medical training had been delivered in the Pacific region, and has continued successfully since then.
