Australian nurse Anita Dunn is a Youth Ambassador sharing her time and expertise working alongside veteran Samoan nurse Simealai Tavana to provide a much needed Nurse-on- Wheels service to the community. The house-to-house service is the brainchild of Simealai who saw a need for at home care for elderly patients.

The World Report on Disability is a major publication from the World Health Organization and World Bank, launched on 9 June 2011 in Geneva.
