AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

HIV Testing: Vanuatu health chiefs have rejected mandatory HIV screening at Port Vila Airport, saying testing must be voluntary and respect travellers’ rights amid Fiji’s growing health crisis. Men’s Health: A Vila Central Hospital specialist warns that injecting silicone, baby oil or petroleum jelly into the genitals can cause severe tissue damage, infection and nerve injury, adding pressure to Vanuatu’s strained surgical services. Children’s Cardiac Care: Six children from Vanuatu are among 15 Pacific children set to receive life-saving heart surgery in Fiji through the Uto Bulabula initiative. Medical Outreach: An Indonesian hospital ship treated 656 patients and performed 14 operations during a two-day visit to Vanuatu. Food Safety: Vanuatu plans to consult kava farmers and exporters on Fiji’s stricter import rules, which require permits, traceability records and safety testing.**
