FSM Continues Efforts to Improve Health Services in Remote Areas Under PHIG

Through PHIG, the Department of Health and Social Affairs – Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is building on their efforts to rehabilitate clinics on outlying islands that they began under the National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities Among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations and Rural Communities Funding. FSM is completing a community assessment of dispensaries to better understand the quality of health services and community healthcare needs. The assessment results will help FSM prioritize dispensary infrastructure improvements and staff training, ultimately supporting the health of those on more remote islands.
