History
In 1954, in Rodwell Road in Fiji’s capital, Suva, the Bayly Clinic opened for six days a week. The people filled the waiting room and Doctors treated patients virtually non-stop. The standard charge for a consultation, at that time, was two shillings.
Along the passage, the Welfare section of the Clinic reviewed needy cases, dispensed food parcels and arranged jobs and housing whenever possible for many of Fiji’s less fortunate families. As the number continued to grow, operations of the Welfare section developed separately from that of the Clinic.
This is part of the legacy of the late John Percy Bayly and the late Dr. George Hemming who managed the Bayly Clinic from its opening in 1954, until his retirement and return to New Zealand in 1982.
Dr. Hemming and John Percy Bayly shared a common concern for the increasing numbers of poor and the less fortunate.

JP Bayly Trust (JPBT), a renowned charitable trust in Fiji which was established by the late Mr. JP Bayly in 1954 provides for the welfare of the less fortunate and needy with their basic yet essential medical, food and clothing and education support to Fijian families and their children.
The Trust has medical and dental clinics operated by registered practitioners and provides free medical and dental consultations as well as medication to just over 400 families who are permanently registered with each centre. Their education centres are in three divisions, Suva, Lautoka and Labasa so that they can reach children across the country.
The welfare centre gives out monthly food packs, footwear, bedding and clothes throughout the year to the less fortunate families.
In addition, there are several temporary cases with each centre who also receive similar assistance.
