The objective of the Health Enhancement and Resiliency in Tonga Project is to strengthen the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Tonga, increase the availability of climate resilient health services in the Northern Islands, and, in case of an eligible crisis or emergency, respond promptly and effectively to it.

This component includes three subcomponents: refine the model of care to provide more effective integrated prevention, detection, early intervention, and management of NCDs, Develop priority HRH, and support behavior change communication and policy change for NCD risk reduction. The second component is to improve the accessibility to resilient health services in the Northern Islands. This component will improve the accessibility to quality and climate-resilient infrastructure in Vava’u by retrofitting, rebuilding, and equipping PWNH. This component includes two subcomponents: infrastructure support for a resilient and appropriately designed PWNH hospital, and essential equipment and supplies for PWNH and health facilities in the Northern Islands. The third component is the project and portfolio management. This component includes two subcomponents: project management with enhanced hospital development advisory support, and Central Services Unit (CSU), capacity building, and technical assistance.
