Pacific Islands Health and Education

Pacific Islands Health and Education Limited (PIHEL) is a group of people who are dedicated to making a difference for people in need in the Pacific Islands. We come from widely diverse backgrounds but all have recognised that these islands which are so closely connected geographically and historically with Australia, the United Kingdom and France are struggling to provide the level of basic Health Care and Education outcomes that people in more developed nations take for granted. This is not about advanced treatments and elective medicine, but diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses as well as acute and chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardio-vascular disease, asthma and such. Despite significant advances achieved by their Governments, the level of suffering, disability, overall and child mortality in particular, are still far higher than should be the case. The people of these nations are wonderful, friendly and caring people and they deserve far better. Our major project to date is supporting the further development and operation of Medical Santo in Luganville on the Island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu.
