Regional Climate Resilience: Pacific Ministers wrapped up PMMM-4 with renewed political backing for Weather Ready Pacific and early warning systems, including radar and observing-station upgrades. Samoa’s Health Costs Under Scrutiny: Questions were raised over a new private hospital in Savai‘i after company records showed links between shareholders and people connected to government.
