Abstract
This research study is concerned with health policy analysis and its importance in the formulation, planning and implementation of health policy in Fiji . The project explores the influence of political institutions, and the significance of the political context and cultural and societal values in Fiji that influenced the implementation of the Fiji Health Management Reforms (1999-2004). The research has highlighted that health policy analysis is a necessary tool in developing countries that are undergoing health reforms.
