AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoPacific health outreach: John Margerison partnered with the Esesson Foundation to deliver Vanuatu’s largest free healthcare outreach, with clinics covering general medicine, women’s health, dental and orthopaedics—free care for 2,600+ people and 3,018 procedures from 14–18 September. Sea safety and access to care: Indonesia’s KRI Wahidin Sudirohusodo-991 rescued 11 Papua New Guineans (including two children) after their boat drifted for hours when an outboard motor failed; the group received medical checks, food, clean water and blankets, with the ship en route to Vanuatu. Health system pressure: In Victoria, Australia, up to 10,000 public hospital doctors may walk off the job in a statewide strike over pay and working conditions, with possible disruption to elective surgeries. Life expectancy watch: New analysis highlights uneven Pacific progress—average life expectancy is up, but some countries remain behind, while Vanuatu and Solomon Islands have moved above average. Gender and water decisions: Pacific research ahead of COP31 says women are often excluded from water decision-making, driving wider health and climate harms—especially for women and girls.
