Climate and Health: WHO says Pacific health systems face mounting strain from climate change, workforce shortages and limited funding. Seven Pacific countries have yet to include health in national climate plans; Fiji and Kiribati are receiving support to strengthen climate resilience. Alcohol Control: Kiribati joined six other countries at a WHO workshop focused on putting proven alcohol policies into practice, including controls on availability and marketing, drink-driving enforcement, and access to screening and treatment. Heart Health: A Pacific surgeon warns that diets high in processed foods, salt and sugary drinks, combined with inactivity, raise the risk of heart disease. Kiribati residents are among Pacific patients who have received specialist heart-valve surgery, while prevention remains key.
