SFESA says to stop burning rubbish, avoid cigarette butts in bush and roadside areas, and never leave cooking unattended.

NCD Focus: Samoa’s development pathway sets a goal to cut non-communicable diseases by 5%, with diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and overweight/obesity tracked through health systems and baseline figures. Hospital Updates: The Government plans to reopen Leulumoega District Hospital after an assessment, while the Ministry of Health also clarified that an old photo showing a wooden pole as an IV stand does not reflect current Emergency Department practices. Road Safety Call: A Faleula Uta car accident involving a 19-year-old and her aunt has highlighted the need for faster, clearer public updates on road incidents.
