In welcoming the delegates to Vanuatu, the Hon Minister of Health Jerome Ludvaune has this to say:
“I would like to welcome all country delegates and Pacific leaders in the area of reproductive health to Vanuatu. We have much work to do to improve reproductive health in the region. Your discussions, deliberations and recommendations will no doubt assist governments in the region including Vanuatu to accelerate progress. I understand this conference has gathered a rich mix of health professionals – including professors, specialists, doctors, midwives, nurses, researchers, public health specialists, program managers and so forth. I am pleased that our own Vanuatu health professionals are actively involved and will benefit from discussions to strengthen our own services and programs in reproductive health and maternity care.”
All accepted abstracts have been published in the June 2017 issue of the Pacific Journal of Reproductive Health.
We look forward to welcoming you all to Port Vila.
