We aim to share our health evidence and stories and most of Pacific history were disseminated through the best of oral traditions - in stories shared around the kava bowl, in poetry and in song.

Health gain is usually through a people inspired for change. inspiration.  Nothing is out of bounds as long as it relates to promoting the health research,
