The funding supports the goal, set out in a regional meeting convened by Japan in 2018, to “achieve resilient and sustainable development” in the Pacific Islands including health, by “enhancing co-operation” to raise the quality of medical services “and the welfare of the people in the Pacific".
Japan will send $8 million to Vanuatu later this year to purchase a mobile clinic to improve medical care in the island nation's rural and remote areas, the Japanese government has confirmed.
