George Kwong, our Regional Ambassador for the Trans-Pacific and Fiji, recently returned from a successful visit to Tuvalu, where he held an impactful first meeting with the Minister of Health. This significant encounter focused on the 10,000 Toes Campaign and its crucial role in improving health by addressing diabetes and other non-communicable diseases in this small but vibrant nation.
