– The U.S. Embassy, in coordination with the Samoa Ministry of Health, announces
the return of the Soifua Manuia Medical Mission to Samoa. The mission brings medical
personnel from the 1984th U.S. Army Reserve to work alongside Samoan healthcare providers,
delivering specialized services and strengthening health systems across the country.
The Soifua Manuia program, founded in 2014, reflects the United States’ capacity to showcase
American excellence in medical expertise globally. U.S. Army medical professionals will
collaborate with Samoan counterparts to support public health infrastructure, enhance clinical
outcomes, and improve hospital readiness. These joint efforts boost Samoa’s healthcare
capacity while providing U.S. personnel with valuable experience in diverse medical
environments, enhancing their operational readiness and global reach.
“The Soifua Manuia mission demonstrates the United States’ ability to lead in global health and
field medical operations,” said Daniel Tarapacki, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires. “We continue to put
American prosperity and security at the forefront of our diplomacy. Our U.S. medical
professionals integrate with partners on the ground to deliver high-impact results and improve
health capacity across borders.”
From April 22-30, 2025, U.S. medical professionals will be available at local hospitals for
consultations. The Soifua Manuia Mission supports preventive and specialty care, surgical
procedures, and medical education.
