Nauru Public Health

On Tuesday the team visited Boe community to administer shots.

The Nauru Health team said, “It was very encouraging to see a good number of the targeted age group and adults 18 years and over turn up to get their jab, to be protected and save in order for Nauru to remain Covid free.”

The team will be visiting the communities of Aiwo, Baitsi and Anabar this afternoon from 3 to 6pm to administer Pfizer and booster vaccine shots.

On 30 August, a baby show will be held at the Centennial Hall for babies between the ages of 0 to 5 years.

Activities organised will include how the baby is dressed, baby’s weight, food demo on how the baby is fed and more, according a report by Nauru Media News - NTV.

On 31 August there will be a competition demonstrating how food is served in homes.

There are awesome prizes for the 2-day programme.

Public health screenings will also be conducted to check for blood pressure, sugar and other vitals.

Minister for Health Isabella Dageago received the vehicles from acting High Commissioner Andrew Hodges.

The minister said the donation is only part of the commitment by Australian DFAT and health service provider Palladium.  

She said the vehicles will provide “better access to communities in under-served areas and provide support where adequate transportation is needed to provide quality health care services.”

The wellness centres are providing NDC, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent health and nutrition support to Nauruan communities.
