WORLD DIABETES DAY – NOVEMBER 14

At Vanua Medical Clinic & Lab, Dr Guillaume EMERSON and Dr Damaris CRISCUOLO help you take control of diabetes: whether it’s early detection, regular follow-up, or managing complications.

What our doctors do:
- Assess your symptoms, lifestyle, family risk
- Check your fasting blood sugar and HbA1c (3-month average)
- Screen for complications: kidney function, cholesterol, liver, feet, blood pressure, etc
- Adjust your treatment plan (diet, oral meds, insulin if needed)

📊 Lab tests are done on-site with next-day results

You don’t need to wait for complications. Diabetes can be silent for years, but it’s treatable when caught early.

🌍 When a Medical Emergency Happens, Every Minute Matters

At Vanua Medical Clinic & Lab, we manage medical emergencies from the first minute until the patient is safely transferred to an overseas hospital.

Over the past six months, Dr Guillaume EMERSON and Dr Damaris CRISCUOLO have coordinated several medical evacuations for patients with heart attacks, meningitis, severe infections, seizures, cellulitis, cholecystitis, and sepsis.

Our role is to stabilise the patient, provide continuous monitoring, and ensure all necessary treatment and documentation are ready before the repatriation team arrives.

🩺 24/7 medical presence
Our doctors stay with the patient day and night until the evacuation team takes over.

🧪 Full laboratory on site
All essential tests (blood count, infection markers, kidney and liver function, cardiac enzymes) are available within 30 minutes.

💊 Complete treatment capacity
We provide IV medications, oxygen therapy, cardiac monitoring, and advanced care on site.

⚕️ Reliable equipment and environment

🩺 STI SCREENING

Regular STI checks are a simple and responsible way to protect your health and your partner’s.
At Vanua Medical Clinic & Lab, we offer comprehensive sexual health screening, all performed on-site with next-day results.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) tests available:
- HIV
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Syphilis
- Gonorrhea (New✨)

Why test?
Many sexually transmitted infections have no symptoms, which means they can go unnoticed for months or years, silently leading to infertility, chronic pelvic pain, liver disease, or transmission to your partner.
Regular testing is recommended:
- Once a year for all sexually active adults
- Every 3 to 6 months if you have new or multiple partners
- Before planning a pregnancy

Confidential, professional, and fast. Your health, your peace of mind.
