Breast Cancer Care: The Cook Islands mammogram programme Te Marae Ora (with the Cook Islands Breast Cancer Foundation and NSW BreastScreen Australia) screened 398 women on Rarotonga and flagged follow-up needs—52 for repeat mammograms, 39 for ultrasound, and 7 for biopsies—highlighting the push for earlier detection across the Pa Enua. NCD Safe Care: WHO met Te Marae Ora’s Chief Medical Officer to focus on safer treatment for non-communicable diseases, citing Cook Islands risk data from STEPS 2022 (notably hypertension at 44.3%, alcohol use at 49.8%, smoking at 34.5%, and low physical activity at 22.6%). HIV Response: Fiji’s HIV emergency remains a major concern, with UNAIDS estimating 9,100 people living with HIV in 2025 and low testing and treatment uptake; WHO points to proven actions like testing, early diagnosis, treatment access, needle-syringe programmes, and tackling stigma. Climate & Health Risk: A report warns Auckland’s warming, wetter conditions could help mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and dengue “thrive,” raising public health stakes as extreme weather increases. Community Resilience: NZDF crews are supporting Penrhyn/Tongareva with practical health and infrastructure work—repairs to school and hospital facilities, water storage improvements, and dental treatments—aimed at strengthening local resilience.
