Abstract
Objective: The present study analyses Oceania's protest and conflict events (2021-2022) to aid healthcare systems better understand the scope of the issue.
Methods: Data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data database were examined for event types and fatalities.
Results: A total of 2743 events were recorded, mainly protests (83.3%). Fatalities stemmed from battles, violence against civilians and riots. Australia had the most events (56.1%); Papua New Guinea the highest fatality rate (1.03/event).
Conclusions: Australia faced pandemic-related protests; Papua New Guinea grappled with tribal violence, posing healthcare challenges. A comprehensive approach emphasising disaster preparedness, regional cooperation and addressing root causes is crucial to bolster healthcare systems.
