Description

In Fiji, geographical, demographic and climatic factors, allied with lifestyle constitute a favourable environment for food and water outbreaks and its presence is confirmed by surveillance data.

According to UNESCO, water quality is determined by the physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of water. These water quality characteristics throughout the world are characterized by wide variability. Therefore, the quality of natural water sources used for different purposes should be established in terms of the specific water-quality parameters that most affect the possible use of water.

WHO’s special initiative on climate change and health in small island developing states launched during the COP23 meeting chaired by Fiji calls for the acceleration of actions towards mitigating the impact of climate change and building climate resilient health systems.

The WHO DPS, PHS and PCE teams have committed to advancing this progress and have proven their strong adherence with achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), health-related SDGs as climate resilience requiring multidisciplinary approaches not only in the health sector but also communities and society.

With a primary focus on climate resilience, the team is to support Fiji MOHMS in strengthening its leadership and coordination in climate change and health policy, enhancing laboratory capacity and surveillance network, and community engagement for climate resilience.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) provided financial support under the project Strengthening Health Adaptation Project (SHAPE): Responding to Climate Change in Fiji.
