Last update: an hour ago

Mental Health: A regional programme working with health providers in Vanuatu and Tonga is building local mental-health skills; its upcoming training will support nurses and community champions in Tonga. HIV Testing: Vanuatu health chiefs rejected calls for mandatory HIV screening at Port Vila Airport, saying testing must be voluntary and confidential. Health Warnings: A Vila Central Hospital specialist says men injecting silicone, baby oil or petroleum jelly into their genitals are suffering serious injuries, including tissue and nerve damage. Children’s Care: Six children from Vanuatu are set to receive heart surgery in Fiji through the Uto Bulabula initiative. Two siblings from Tanna also regained the ability to walk after receiving treatment for severe clubfoot in Canberra. Kava Safety: Vanuatu plans to consult kava growers and exporters on Fiji’s stricter testing and import rules.
