Open-Heart Care at Home: Fiji-based surgeon Dr Sanjeev Khulbey says Pacific families are finally getting complex open-heart surgery locally, after years of specialist gaps forced costly overseas referrals and community fundraising. Press Freedom Push: Samoa’s journalists marked World Press Freedom Day with UNESCO’s Pacific representative warning that press freedom is slipping globally and urging Samoan media to protect an inclusive, ethical information space. Drugs Crackdown in the Region: Australia’s AFP says 17 tonnes of illicit drugs have been seized in the Pacific since January—more than triple last year—while Fiji police officers face charges tied to a wider investigation. Samoa Justice & Courts: A court will rule on whether it has jurisdiction in a social media defamation case, as another matter continues to test how far online speech can be pursued. Transport Strain: NUS students report daily bus delays in peak morning hours, with shortages leaving them waiting over 30 minutes. Connectivity Boost: Samoa is set to benefit from a next-generation satellite broadband service next year, aimed at improving affordability and emergency communications.
