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.
