Climate & Health: New research highlights “super reefs” — nearly one-third of coral reefs worldwide appear more heat-resilient than previously thought, offering hope for places like Kiribati as warming seas drive mass bleaching. Cardiac Care (Kiribati families): Free heart treatment is bringing children back to Kiribati after surgeries in Fiji, including babies and young children treated for rheumatic heart disease and other defects; families say early screening and prompt care can change outcomes. Cardiac Care (Pacific access): Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Heart Hospital in Fiji is expanding beyond children to serve adults and adolescents, aiming to reduce travel burdens and improve access to specialised heart diagnostics and treatment. Safe Communities (UXO): New Zealand and Kiribati teams helped dispose of about 300 World War II unexploded ordnance items in Betio, with medical staff on site and evacuations for residents during detonations. Food Security & Nutrition: The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and SPC launch “Tuna Bites’” to promote tuna as a key protein source across Pacific diets, including in Kiribati. Regional Health Context: Pacific leaders’ meeting in Palau underscored a “complex strategic environment,” while health-related cooperation was also discussed, including support for hospitals and drinking-water sampling in the region.
