Wellness in the air: Fiji Airways has rolled out its FlyWell program, adding Vital Red Light red-light therapy in the Fiji Airways Premier Lounge at Nadi International Airport and on select long-haul flights from Jun 1, 2026, with eligible Business Class access free for the first two months before onboard sales begin Aug 1. Regional health cooperation: In Fiji, Minister Sashi Kiran met Kiribati’s Ruth Cross Kwansing and Secretary Maurintekerapi to align on maternal healthcare, child nutrition, and social protection—aimed at cutting infant mortality and improving support for pregnant mothers. Pacific policy pressure: Kiribati renewed calls for stronger upstream action to tackle the plastic crisis, highlighting how limited capacity and costly recycling exports leave the country dealing with plastic waste that keeps washing ashore. Ongoing context: The week also carried broader Pacific signals on geopolitics and economic strain, but the latest health-focused items were the FlyWell launch and the Kiribati-Fiji maternal health talks.
