Health System Resilience: WHO says Pacific health services face climate pressures, staff shortages and tight budgets. Kiribati is among the countries receiving support from Fiji-Korea’s partnership to strengthen climate-ready health services. Climate Outlook: A strong El Niño could bring prolonged dry spells to parts of the Pacific, while wetter-than-usual conditions are expected in Kiribati and nearby equatorial islands. The forecast also points to heightened cyclone activity in parts of the region, raising risks for communities and essential services. Regional Health Investment: ADB’s new five-year Pacific strategy includes Kiribati and prioritizes better access to health care, alongside climate-resilient infrastructure and economic opportunities.
