An Auckland heart doctor who saved hundreds of lives in Fiji for free has died.

Dr Parma Nand worked as a cardiothoracic surgeon – specialising in surgeries on the heart, lungs and other structures in the chest – for more than 30 years at Mercy Ascot and Auckland City hospitals.

His expertise and kind manner made him a sought-after surgeon in New Zealand, his colleagues say.

The 64-year-old died on Sunday after a short illness.
