The SECURE Pacific program aims to prevent, detect and control infectious disease threats by improving health knowledge and practices in communities and extending surveillance systems to the community level. Vanuatu Red Cross Society (VRCS) is leading the implementation with the support of Australian Red Cross and funding from the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This 3-year program will cover 115 communities that are most at risk of disease outbreaks over three phases.
In September 2025, community consultations were conducted in Shefa Province, Vanuatu, helping to ensure that the health security program was informed by a diverse range of community voices.
