Pacific Health Funding: Samoa’s acting health minister signed a nearly US$3m ADB-backed deal to procure medical equipment and supplies for the “Systems Strengthening for Effective Coverage of New Vaccines in the Pacific” project, covering Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, with a focus on vaccines to cut pneumonia and diarrhoea, cervical cancer risk, and other vaccine-preventable outbreaks, plus support for cold-chain and rural primary care. Cardiac Care Across Islands: Fiji’s Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Heart Hospital is expanding specialised paediatric cardiac treatment across the Pacific, reporting 56,000+ heart screenings and recent interventional procedures that can help children return home sooner. Climate Risk to Daily Life: Pacific leaders warned that warming impacts are already hitting food and income, with modelling suggesting major losses to tuna access fees and coastal catches, while Tuvalu faces rising flooding risk. El Niño Warning: ChildFund New Zealand urges Pacific communities to prepare for a strong El Niño, with drought in some areas, heavier rain in others, and added pressure on drinking water, food and children’s health.
