Illustration described in preceding paragraph — The Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) Pacific island graphic interpretation illustration. This is a representation of the EPHS developed by the US Associated Pacific Islands diabetes prevention and control programs. Overlaying the graphic is fish netting, a critical tool that helps to nourish and sustain island families and communities, symbolizing the integration and interconnectedness of each EPHS. Ocean life represents the essential services within the net and the 3 core public health functions surround the net. The central conch shell signifies research and system management, essential connectors among the EPHS.
