APIA, SAMOA – 12 JUNE 2020:<\/strong> The Government of Japan has reaffirmed its commitment and partnership with the Government of Samoa in strengthening Samoa\u2019s health care system capacity and improving health services through its Economic and Social Development Programme.<\/p>\n

The Grant Assistance is based on the prioritized areas of Japan\u2019s assistance declared during the Eighth Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting (PALM 8) in 2018. Japan\u2019s commitment aims to assist in the improvement and upgrading of medical equipment to ensure effective and quality health services continue to be provided by the Health Sector.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s assistance also focuses on developing human capacity through health education and training of medical and nursing students at the National University of Samoa\u2019s School of Medicine. A range of equipment will also be procured under this grant assistance to upgrade the teaching materials and equipment for the NUS School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

“It is the hope of the Government of Japan that this Grant Aid Assistance will contribute to building resilience of the country and human security of the people of Samoa, while minimizing negative economic and social impact caused by COVID-19,” said H.E. Mr. Terasawa Genichi.<\/p>\n

“The current COVID-19 crisis has reaffirmed Japan\u2019s commitment to strengthen health systems to deal with infectious diseases in the mid- and long-term period. The Samoa-Japan partnership is critical to managing ways to strengthen resilience in health and human security.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
