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.
But it was arguably his philanthropic work and his desire to give back to his homeland and other parts of the Pacific that made him a well-respected figure in the region.
The 64-year-old died on Sunday after a short illness.
