A recent research from the World Health Organization found that around 40% of cancer cases worldwide are preventable. These are linked to major risk factors such as to***co use, alcohol consumption, high body mass index, physical inactivity, air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, and several cancer-causing infections. The findings highlight that a significant portion of cancer cases globally can be reduced through stronger prevention efforts and healthier lifestyle choices.

In Vanuatu, this finding is important as cancer prevention continues to be a growing public health concern across both urban areas and outer islands. Many communities still face challenges in accessing early screening and specialized treatment services, making prevention a more practical and effective approach.

By prioritizing community health education, expanding early detection programs, and promoting healthier lifestyle choices, Vanuatu can take proactive steps in reducing cancer risks. Strengthening prevention at the local level is key to protecting lives and improving long-term public health outcomes.

Recent findings from the American Institute for Cancer Research indicate that diets high in ultra-processed foods are associated with an increased risk of cancer, including breast and colorectal cancers. Evidence shows that even a 10% increase in consumption may elevate overall cancer incidence.

Adopting a diet centered on whole, minimally processed foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is essential for reducing cancer risk and supporting long-term health.

Vanuatu has reached significant milestones in its public health initiative to eliminate cervical cancer, achieving a 90% vaccination rate, 70% screening coverage, and 90% treatment success. These results align with global health targets and demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated community outreach and robust clinical protocols.

By prioritizing preventative care and ensuring access to essential medical services, Vanuatu is setting a powerful example for regional and global health equity. This progress highlights the impact of dedicated policy-making in reducing the burden of preventable malignancies.

With this milestone, patients no longer need to travel overseas for specialized cancer treatment. Getmeds Vanuatu – Pacific will ensure that essential cancer medicines are readily available, helping patients access life-saving care safely and affordably, right here at home.

We sincerely thank Prime Minister Jotham Napat for his visionary leadership, and the medical team from India’s Max Hospital and Pacific Medical Services (PMS) for partnering with the hospital to make this possible. We also acknowledge the Ik-Kana Cancer Foundation for their generous 3 million vatu donation to fund mammogram and CT scan services for cancer patients.

"This Government is committed to putting the health of our nation first," said PM Napat. "Together with our partners, we are building a future where no ni-Vanuatu has to leave our shores to access cancer treatment."

This inspiring vision truly resonates with Getmeds Vanuatu – Pacific, as we continue to provide reliable access to essential cancer medicines locally.

We commend Prime Minister Jotham Napat for his unwavering dedication, bold leadership, and visionary approach, which is setting a remarkable example for Vanuatu and showing the world how strong public-private partnerships can transform healthcare.

Today, we stand in support of every brave child and family facing cancer. 💛

🟡 Unusual lumps or swelling
🤕 Frequent headaches or vomiting
🦴 Ongoing bone or joint pain
⚖️ Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
🩸 Easy bruising or bleeding
👁️ Sudden vision changes

If symptoms persist, seeking medical advice early is critical.

We honor the strength, courage, and resilience of every child fighting this battle. Every child deserves access to the right treatment, the right support, and the right hope.

At Getmeds Vanuatu, our promise is to help families access prescribed cancer medications and treatment solutions as smoothly and reliably as possible. We are committed to supporting healthcare needs by connecting you to the right medicines, providing assistance with prescriptions, and helping ease the burden during challenging times.
