Dengue Alert: Dengue activity is rising across the Pacific, with outbreaks reported in American Samoa, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu; New Caledonia is currently the most affected, and the region has recorded more than 3,500 confirmed cases, 156 hospitalisations and three deaths since 1 January—health services may face added pressure, so communities are urged to take mosquito-bite prevention seriously. Healthcare Cooperation: India and Kiribati discussed deepening health ties, including support for high-quality and affordable drugs, dialysis machines and a sea ambulance, plus capacity building to strengthen Kiribati’s health system. Water, Sanitation & Health: The Blue Pacific Act highlights how gaps in clean water and sanitation in Pacific islands—including Kiribati—can drive diarrheal disease outbreaks and worsen child malnutrition, calling for faster progress toward SDG 6. Digital Health Risks: Kiribati’s youth-and-wellbeing concerns are tied to the fast spread of social media and AI, with misinformation and online harm flagged as growing threats to mental health and community safety.
