Nursing Recognition: UK-based nurse Dr Agimol Pradeep, a transplant coordinator at King’s College Hospital, won the Aster Guardians Global Nursing Award 2026 for her Upahaar work to boost ethnically matched organ and stem-cell donor registration. Health Access Beyond Borders: Three Tongan patients are receiving heart treatment in Fiji after local doctors found specialist care unavailable at home, including angiography and stent procedures. Safety and Injury Risk: A crocodile attack in Port Moresby killed a wildlife handler after a prolonged “death roll,” with police firing multiple shots; he died the next morning in hospital. Community Health Infrastructure: PNG’s independence celebrations also spotlighted health worker roles and service delivery, including calls for stronger accountability and support for remote health posts.
