10,000 Toes Campaign regional ambassador for the Trans Pacific and Fiji region, George Kwong, had a successful first meeting with the Tuvalu Health Minister Tuafala Latasi.
During their discussion, Mr Kwong announced 20 new Tuvalu ambassadors had completed their 10,000 Toes Campaign training. He explained that these individuals are now equipped to help their communities to lead healthier lives and drive positive health changes.
Tuvalu faces significant health challenges, including a high prevalence of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases. Limited healthcare infrastructure and resources further impact efforts to manage and prevent these conditions.
Their meeting highlighted the importance of the 10,000 Toes Campaign in improving health by addressing diabetes and other diseases in Tuvalu.
