Tagata o te Moana for 2 June 2018

A charity focused on providing eye care in the Pacific hopes collaboration will help to combat the broader threat of non-communicable diseases in the region; the latest life expectancy world rankings show Fiji has the highest death rate from diabetes in the world with 188 of 100,000 fatalities being attributed to the disease; Pacific Trade and Invest says businesses are often forgotten about when disaster strikes with the focus on families and communities but they are endeavouring to do something about it; maternal mortality rates in Papua New Guinea appear to have worsened over the past five years with the risk of dying during childbirth now estimated at 1 in 120 women; Papua New Guinea's emergency controller says the response to February's Highlands earthquake is mostly shifting from a focus on relief to recovery; one of the experts speaking at this week's New Zealand Emergency Management Conference has had a lot of experience helping Fiji improve its systems to cope with disaster; one of the key aims of Samoan Language week, which is being held in New Zealand, is instilling a sense of identity and pride in young Samoans living there.
