World Skin Health Day: Solomon Islands marked its first official World Skin Health Day in Honiara, with Health Minister Morris Toiraena warning skin diseases like scabies, yaws, leprosy, eczema and psoriasis remain a major public health concern and urging early treatment and reduced stigma, while noting specialist dermatology services at the National Referral Hospital and strengthening provincial care. Health Workforce Boost: A total of 164 newly registered nurses completed their Supervised Practice Programme and were welcomed into the workforce, with the MHMS urging compassionate, integrity-led service—especially in rural and remote areas. Sanitation Skills for Rural Communities: UNICEF and KOICA-backed WASH artisan training in Guadalcanal is equipping women and community leaders with practical, low-cost toilet building skills to reduce open defecation and cut sanitation-related health problems. Cyclone Maila Recovery Funding: New Zealand committed NZD 3.4m (SBD) for early recovery in Western and Choiseul after Tropical Cyclone Maila, including support for clean water, food gardens, school return and rebuilding livelihoods. Regional Health Context: Pacific leaders and health-focused partners also face wider climate and disaster pressures, with El Niño conditions expected to intensify extreme weather risks across the region.
