About the Solomon Islands Australia Partnership for Health  

The Solomon Islands Australia Health Partnership (Health Partnership) is a bilateral health systems-strengthening partnership that supports the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) to implement the National Health Strategic Plan 2022–2031.

Its focus is on strengthening provincial service delivery, improving MHMS policy, leadership and management capabilities, and advancing clinical governance systems that promote safety, quality, and reliable standards of care. Cross-cutting priorities—including gender equality, disability inclusion, climate resilience, localisation, and strategic communications—are integrated across all implementation areas.
