Meet RN Jessica Tarihahia
Graduating from the World Relief Australia supported nurse training at the Solomon Islands National University, Jessica now serves as the sole nurse in Hauhui, Malaita, one of the most remote parts of the Solomon Islands.
With over 1,000 people across ten villages, she provides vital care in a clinic plagued by poor conditions and inadequate medical equipment. The nearest main town is Auki, three hours away by boat, and the journey is not easy. The isolation weighs heavy.
Despite these challenges, Jessica remains dedicated, offering obstetric, emergency, and general healthcare to her community and nearby villages. There are no doctors living on Hauhui. The nearest doctor is 3 hours away so Jessica has a lot of responsibility to make the right decisions to give her best possible care to her community.
