Through a mixture of seasonal migration, deportations and cost of living pressures, Pacific Island nations are facing an unprecedented influx of meth into their communities.
Producer Sanat spoke to Sir Colin Tukuitonga, Associate Dean Pacific and Professor of Public Health at the University of Auckland about this crisis in health.
He says that “Meth poses a dire health threat in the Pacific. It’s extremely addictive, devastates people’s mental health, and is driving the spread of HIV in Fiji at an alarming rate, through needle and blood sharing. “
According to Sir Colin more needs to be done by international health organisations and law enforcement to help fund better rehabilitation services and stop the inflow of meth into Pacific Island nations.

Auckland Council’s Community Committee Chair Angela Dalton says government policy changes have “made it harder for people to access emergency housing.”
The committee has called for the government to work with frontline agencies to address the issue.
Yesterday, nearly 36,000 nurses, midwives, and healthcare workers went on strike for 24 hours.
This followed the breakdown of mediation talks between the nurses' union and Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand.
The union says they are striking because of the ‘dire’ staffing situation.
