After being hired by World Health Organization as a travel community health nurse I was assigned to my first assignment to the South Pacific in an island called Kava. Over 50% of the island is under 15 years of age and the languages spoken there are a mixture of Spanish, French and English. The religions on island consist of Christian, Buddhist, Islamic and Indigenous local religion. Economy of the island depends mostly on petroleum, coffee, cocoa, spices, bananas, sugar, tourism, fishing and natural gas. The identified disaster threats of the island are Tidal waves, Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, HIV/AIDS, petroleum spill, high risk for avian flu, and terrorism.
After a briefing from Alex regarding facts on Kava, Nik would now identify some issues that may affect job duties in community health care in the island. Focusing on the population of the island most health teaching will rely on pediatrics health care.
