More than 100 staff from the Vanuatu Provident Fund have received free medical checks through the 10,000 Toes campaign in August.

For some of the employees, it was their first time receiving a medical check, believing they would only need one if they got sick.

Facilitated by graduate nurses from Vanuatu College of Nursing Education, Lekon Tagavi, Vanuatu Mission Adventist Health Ministries director, and 10,000 Toes ambassadors, staff were provided with health checks at their workplace.

Richard Edwin, Vanuatu Provident Fund acting general manager, requested that the 10,000 Toes team provide checks for his staff after learning of their campaign and the free mobile health check services they offer.

The 10,000 Toes Campaign, launched by health ministries at the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, aims to address the significant issue of non-communicable diseases prevalent in the South Pacific.
