More than a decade ago, Dr Basil Leodoro from Vanuatu and Dr Ian Norton from Australia met through emergency response training. What began as a professional connection soon grew into a friendship that would help transform how health services reach communities across Vanuatu.

From Cyclone Pam to COVID 19, their shared commitment to public health led to HELPR 1, a vessel bringing essential services to remote islands. Their partnership continues to strengthen emergency systems, community outreach and climate resilience across Vanuatu.

Basil and Ian’s story is part of our series with the Vanuatu Daily Post, celebrating 45 stories of friendship for 45 years of independence 🇻🇺🤝🇦🇺

We were delighted to host this consultation with government Consultant Mr Russel Tamata.

Everyone was able to contribute and share ideas about the future of health services in Sanma and Vanuatu.

We look forward to more collaborative efforts to ensure that all new initiatives and programs are shared and health care workers get to contribute to future health care services.
