The Two Samoas, One Public Health Summit 2026 brings together public health professionals, healthcare providers, emergency management personnel, government leaders, community organizations, and partners from both American Samoa and Samoa to strengthen collaboration and address the health challenges that impact our islands.

​

As neighboring island communities connected by culture, family, and shared experiences, the two Samoas face many of the same public health opportunities and challenges. This summit provides a unique opportunity for participants to come together, share knowledge, learn from one another, and build stronger partnerships that support the health and well-being of our people.

​

Throughout the summit, participants will engage in discussions on infectious disease preparedness and response, public health surveillance, emergency management, cross-border collaboration, data sharing, workforce development, and community engagement. Attendees will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss lessons learned from past public health events, and explore practical solutions that can be applied within their own communities.

​

More than just a conference, the summit is a chance to strengthen relationships, foster trust, and create lasting partnerships that will help both Samoas respond more effectively to future public health threats. By working together and learning from one another, we can improve our ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious diseases and other health emergencies.

​

The health of our communities depends on strong collaboration, open communication, and a shared commitment to protecting future generations. Through this summit, we reaffirm that while we are two jurisdictions, we share one vision—a healthier, safer, and more resilient future for all people across the Two Samoas.

​

Together, we are stronger. Together, we are better prepared. Together, we are building One Public Health Vision for the Two Samoas.
