AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Essential Services: The Asian Development Bank’s new five-year Pacific strategy includes the Cook Islands, with priorities spanning essential services, resilient infrastructure and economic opportunities. Cyclone Wati: Aitutaki escaped major damage, but the storm brought rough seas, power outages and evacuations; local teams cleared roads in case residents needed hospital access. Health Capacity: A WHO regional report places the Cook Islands among countries with higher hospital-bed capacity, while nurse and midwife numbers have also grown. Eye Care: A new vision centre at Rarotonga Hospital is expanding access to eye checks and affordable glasses across the islands. Food and Wellness: World Food Day events in Rarotonga promoted local produce and healthier eating.
