EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Native Medical Students of the Suva Hospital, Fiji" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of healthcare education in 19th century Fiji. The image showcases a group of indigenous students who are diligently studying medicine at the renowned Suva Hospital. The composition exudes an air of determination and ambition as these young individuals immerse themselves in their studies. Dressed in traditional attire, they proudly represent their culture while embarking on this noble pursuit. Their focused expressions and engaged postures reveal their dedication to learning and improving the health outcomes for their community. The historical significance of this print cannot be overstated. It sheds light on the progressive nature of medical education during a time when colonial powers often disregarded or undermined indigenous knowledge systems. By highlighting these native medical students, it challenges prevailing narratives that marginalized local practices. Published in The Graphic on January 8th, 1887, this engraving serves as both documentation and celebration of these pioneering individuals' accomplishments. It stands as a testament to their resilience and determination to break barriers within the field of medicine. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from our past—a visual reminder that diversity has always been an integral part of healthcare education worldwide.
