Clinic Access Push: Solomon Islands’ health ministry is urging people with coughs, colds, fever, diarrhoea, wound care, malaria screening and blood sugar checks to use their nearest community or Honiara City Council clinics, reserving the National Referral Hospital Emergency Department for emergencies and critically ill patients to cut waiting times and overcrowding. Hospital Security & Overcrowding: NRH says theft and security breaches are rising and that overcrowding is increasing risks; it plans CCTV and new fencing, with RSIPF support, and warns the public to stay out of unauthorised areas, especially near infection-control zones. Flu-Like Illness Watch: The ministry reports a sustained rise in influenza-like illness across Honiara and several provinces, with influenza A found in earlier lab testing and more testing underway to identify the cause. Primary Care in the Provinces: A first Central Islands Provincial Health Summit in Tulagi reviewed what’s working in local services and set practical steps to widen access under the Primary Health Care Performance Initiative. FIPIC Health Cooperation: On UNGA sidelines, FIPIC foreign ministers reaffirmed India-Pacific partnership plans that include healthcare, alongside renewable energy, climate action and disaster resilience; Solomon Islands’ foreign minister called for stronger mechanisms so pledges deliver on the ground. NRH Care Quality Example: A patient-safety story from Mataniko Area Health Center highlights routine checks that helped detect diabetes and hypertension early.
