From 2013-2016 @USAID supported a pediatric cardiac surgery program Save a Child’s Heart. SACH is an international, non-profit organization, based in Israel, with the mission of improving the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children from around the world. 
SACH has provided care to over 4,200 children, approximately 250 children per year, from 53 developing countries in Africa, South America, Europe, Asia and throughout the Middle East, including the Palestinian Authority.
Now imagine if @USAID teamed up with @USNavy #PacificPartnership to make the Mercy Hospital ship a floating pediatric cardiac surgery care center in the #PacificIslands for 6-8 weeks. Hundreds of kids there could get evaluation and treatment.

1/10 In this #USIran conflict, we need #FijiMedia #PacificMedia to run analysis pieces dissecting what it means for us in the islands. Our ignorance is frightening. Analysis on the following in layman's language for all people would be greatly appreciated:
2/10
1. #History of #PacificWars - e.g. the world wars and their legacies to articulate generational impact.
2. History of nuclear activity and its impact on island/er(s).
3. #Militarisation in the region and #Demilitarisation efforts over the years.

4. US military bases in the region and the risks we face as a result (Asia-Pacific).
5. #USIran conflict implications on future of #ClimateChange efforts - particularly important because the few small victories we've had as a region have been hard-won.
