'The Ministry of Health and Medical Services in Kiribati is pleased to present the first Annual Report produced for over ten years.  The Health Information Unit, who is responsible for the production of this report, stores much data in the system that has never been analysed. The main purpose of this report is to assess the status of population health.  It is also going to serve the need from health donors on any kind of information they might need.’
