WSP with Ministry of Health and Medical Services Solomon Islands have just finished the second mass drug administration (MDA) for scabies throughout the whole country, which makes them the first country in the world to complete two national MDAs for scabies!

We would like to extend an enormous congratulations to all those involved in this huge effort to treat the whole of Solomon Islands for scabies through community based treatment campaigns - especially the Solomon Islander people for participating.

And tankiu tumas to Australia High Commission, Solomon Islands who have funded this program through Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), as well as the continued support from Macquarie Group Foundation.
