Malaria places a heavy burden on communities across the Indo-Pacific, particularly children. Great to meet MMV CEO Martin Fitchet to discuss how Australia is supporting MMV to develop life-saving, accessible malaria products across our region. #HealthSecurity #EndMalaria

Vaccination protects us all from diseases that know no borders. Australia’s support for @Gavi helps ensure Pacific priorities are heard and strengthens regional health security. It was a pleasure to meet CEO Dr @SaniaNishtar in Canberra to discuss our shared health goals.

Congratulations to PNG on the introduction of the HPV vaccine, a milestone in protecting women & girls from cervical cancer. Australia is a proud partner of PNG and @gavi in expanding immunisation, and a longstanding supporter of cervical screening & treatment services across PNG
Delighted to meet Prime Minister @JamesMarapePNG and thank him for his continued leadership on immunisation and women's health in Papua New Guinea. I welcomed the country’s introduction of the HPV vaccine and commended the government's growing investment in vaccines. As PNG works to reach every child, including those in the most remote communities, @Gavi remains a committed partner in advancing immunisation and supporting the country's journey towards self-reliance.
