The WHO Representative Office in the South Pacific, located in Suva, Fiji, operates under the umbrella of the Western Pacific regional office, and our role is to act as a catalyst and advocate for action at all levels, from local to global, on health issues of public concern. We work together with a broad spectrum of partners from all sectors of society, WHO is involved in a host of closely related public health activities; including research, evaluation, awareness raising and resource mobilization.
Solomon Islands-WHO Country Cooperation Strategy 2018-2022
The World Health Organization (WHO), working with partners, will support the Government in pursuing its national strategic priorities. Each strategic activity is linked to at least one of the subregional focus areas that are detailed in the Pacific Island Countries and Areas–WHO Cooperation Strategy 2018–2022.
National health policy
The health system is in transition and the Government has embarked on an ambitious reform agenda focused on devolving health services to the provinces and integration of health services. The Solomon Islands National Health Strategic Plan for 2016–2020 looks at four key result areas: improving service coverage; improving service quality; building strong partnerships; and setting the foundations for the future.
The NHSP has also identified six priority interventions: immunization; family planning; water, sanitation and hygiene; supervised hospital or facilitybased deliveries and neonatal care; malaria control; and TB control. The plan also identifies four underserved provinces (Malaita, Makira, Choiseul and Central Islands) and two priority population groups (people with disabilities and women exposed to violence and abuse). The overarching goal is UHC and the main driver to achieve this is the Role Delineation Policy.
