Let’s remember them. Happy World Prematurity Day Vanuatu.

Today 17th November is World Prematurity Awareness Day
Theme this year is :
'Give preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful future'
This reminds us that every child deserves a fair chance at life, starting from their very first moments.

Prematurity affects around 1 in every 10 babies globally.
That’s an estimated 13.4 million babies born too soon each year.

Of these, nearly 1 million babies die due to complications of prematurity—deaths that are often preventable with timely care, skilled staff, warmth, breastfeeding support, infection prevention, and access to essential medicines.

Premature babies are fighters, but they need strong health systems and informed communities to survive and thrive.

On this World Prematurity Day, let’s stand together to:
💜 Raise awareness
💜 Support families
💜 Strengthen newborn care
💜 Give every baby the best start in life

Nonsense!

The SHEFA Provincial Government Council (SPGC) has passed a controversial new by-law that forbids women from operating food stalls, roadside markets, or preparing food for sale during their menstruation.

The regulation, titled Pest Control of Food Establishment No.7 of 2025, was passed and signed on October 21, 2025, and officially gazetted on November 4, 2025.

According to Section 3 of the regulation, “this by-law recognises the local custom of unclean hands and it is forbidden for women during their menstruation to operate at food stalls and roadside markets, neither should they prepare food to be sold during this period.”

Perioperative week at Vanuatu National Hospital and Northern Provincial Hospital, Santo, Vanuatu

Vanuatu Celebrates Perioperative Week: Honouring the Quiet Heroes of Surgical Care |

This week, Vanuatu National Hospital is joining a global movement to celebrate Perioperative Week, a dedicated time to recognize the vital contributions of the professionals who ensure safe, compassionate, and high-quality surgical care.

From the moment a patient is prepared for surgery to their full recovery, perioperative services play a critical role in every step of the journey. This includes the skilled work of anesthetists, nurses, CSSD technicians, laboratory scientists, imaging specialists, and support staff, all working in harmony to deliver life-saving procedures with precision and care.

“Surgery is never a solo act,” said a Sista Lina nurse at Vila Central Hospital. “It’s a group of expertise, and Perioperative Week reminds us to celebrate every person behind the scenes who makes it possible.”

The week-long celebration is not only a tribute to teamwork and dedication but also a platform to raise public awareness about the importance of perioperative services in achieving safe and affordable surgery for all. In Vanuatu, where access to quality healthcare is a national priority, the spotlight on perioperative care underscores the need for continued investment in training, equipment, and collaboration.

Activities planned for the week include:
- Educational workshops for staff
- Awareness campaigns highlighting the role of perioperative professionals
- Team-building exercises to strengthen interdepartmental collaboration

As Vanuatu continues to build a resilient and inclusive health system, Perioperative Week serves as a powerful reminder that behind every successful surgery is a network of professionals whose skill, compassion, and coordination save lives every day.
