About the Solomon Islands Australia Partnership for Health

The Solomon Islands Australia Health Partnership (Health Partnership) is a bilateral health systems-strengthening partnership that supports the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) to implement the National Health Strategic Plan 2022–2031. The Partnership combines direct financing to MHMS, provincial performance-linked grants, targeted procurement, and catalytic technical assistance delivered through the ASIPS+ Facility. Its focus is on strengthening provincial service delivery, improving MHMS policy, leadership and management capabilities, and advancing clinical governance systems that promote safety, quality, and reliable standards of care. Cross-cutting priorities—including gender equality, disability inclusion, climate resilience, localisation, and strategic communications—are integrated across all implementation areas.
