S02-SE: First Flight for the Pacific Humanitarian Pathway

The Pacific Way

The recently introduced Pacific Humanitarian Pathway on COVID-19 (PHP-C) was in focus this month with the first flight of medical supplies departing Nadi, Fiji bound for Port Moresby in PNG. The cargo consisted of 44 cubic metres of essential medical supplies. We speak to the Tuvalu High Commissioner in Fiji, the Secretary-General of Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), the Pacific Director of the World Health Organisation, the High Commissioner of Australia to Fiji, and SPC's own Deputy Director-General, on the significance of the flight and the impact of PHP-C for the region.
