Kiribati Health & Skills: Kiribati marked the 9th month of its 5th Chinese medical team on #ChineseDoctorsDay, with doctors providing emergency rescues and bedside teaching—support meant to leave lasting skills in the country. Regional Health Capacity: A week-long technical attachment in Papua New Guinea helped two Kiribati metrology officers build practical measurement skills, supporting stronger national metrology services after Kiribati’s Metrology Act 2021 and Metrology Regulations 2026—important for public health, trade, and lab work. Heart Health Focus (Fiji): Fiji’s main killer is cardiovascular disease, with cardiologist Dr Sanjeev Kumar Khubey pointing to lifestyle shifts (more canned, preserved, frozen and fried foods) and calling for earlier detection and more health-conscious habits; he also noted Kiribati and other Pacific nations send patients for cardiac care. Pacific Partnerships & Health Systems: Coverage on China’s changing Pacific approach highlights smaller, more frequent support that can reach schools, hospitals, and local agencies—relevant to how health services may be strengthened across the region.
