AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Breastfeeding & NCD prevention: Tonga’s Ministry of Health has launched its first breastfeeding policy at Vaiola Hospital, using the WHO/UNICEF Ten Steps to push skin-to-skin care, at least one hour of breastfeeding support after birth, 24-hour mother-and-baby contact, and formula only when medically indicated—aimed at tackling Tonga’s heavy non-communicable disease burden. Public health & safety: King Tupou VI called for an urgent, integrated national response to illicit drugs, stressing the need for rehabilitation facilities, better border control, and dedicated funding. Gender-based violence: Pacific Forum foreign ministers backed stronger, sustainable financing for gender-based violence prevention, urging gender-responsive budgeting and inclusion in national planning. Health systems: Government agencies in Tonga are working to strengthen public-sector data collection and use, with a coordinated workshop on shared definitions, information-sharing, and linking ministry systems to national reporting. Community wellness & caregiving: A New Zealand report highlights the “invisible workforce” of family caregivers, including a Tongan family member supporting an elder with vascular dementia and complex medication needs. Sports & injury awareness: Tonga-linked rugby and wrestling coverage also points to ongoing injury and rehabilitation needs, from ACL treatment delays in Fiji to a high-profile pec injury management story in NRL.
