Our Pacific island People
The current development situation in the Pacific region is challenging. The region's economies are generally weak and increasingly complex issues - including disease epidemics, rapid population
growth and urbanisation, and globalisation - demand attention.
The
Social Resources Division, which includes the Public Health Programme and the Socio-economic Programme,
attempts to provide a coordinated response to the
development priorities identified by Pacific leaders.
The Public Health Programme
The SPC Public Health Programme (PHP) aims to improve the overall standard of health of Pacific Island peoples.
It works across numerous public health fields, particularly communicable and noncommunicable diseases and public
health policy.
