Abstract

This paper seeks to examine the healthcare service delivery and customer satisfaction in Fiji. This study uses the functional and psychological dimensions of customers' satisfaction as the basis for formulating a strategy for delivering healthcare services to the best of customer/patient's satisfaction. The study revealed that there is a positive relationship between the satisfaction variables, with a strong significant correlation existing between the 'operational quality' and 'nursing care' factors, indicating that when patients are satisfied with the operational services the quality of nursing is generally considered to be satisfactory. There was also a relatively strong significant correlation between the 'operational services' and 'physician care' factors, suggesting that the presence of operational services influences the satisfaction level of the 'physician care'.
