Nafanua II and its crew departed Samoa on Tuesday evening 16 June 2020 transporting a team of two doctors and two nurses to assist with a Humanitarian effort in Tokelau. Samoan Government received a request from Tokelau for assistance to carry out a medical operation for a critically ill patient.
The successful medical operation was conducted for 6 hours on Wednesday 17 June 2020. Nafanua II and its crew with our Samoan Health Officials returned on Thursday and arrived early this morning Friday 19 June 2020.
This humanitarian efforts illustrate co-operation between Samoa Police and its other stakeholder partners such as the Ministry of Health and Tokelau Office.
SPS also would like to acknowledge other Government agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Immigration Department and Customs for expediting our process to make this life saving trip to Tokelau possible.
