520 _a"The 5th bi-annual regional meeting of Ministers of Health for the Pacific Island Countries was held in Tonga from the 9-13 March 2003. This meeting was convened by the World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific and co-organised by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. At previous conferences held in Fiji, Cook Islands, Palau and Papua New Guinea (PNG), the concept of 'Healthy Islands' as a unifying theme for health promotion and protection was adopted and advanced. At the 2001 conference in Madang (PNG), a further commitment to 'Healthy Islands' was made with specific emphasis being given to future action. In view of this progress, it was decided that the 2003 Health Ministers' Conference should have one unifying theme of 'Healthy Lifestyle', while also building on the Healthy Island Vision and risks to health as articulated in the 2002 World Health Report"--Background.
