Dr Debbie Ryan is the Principal of Pacific Perspectives and during the initial stages of the Coronavirus outbreak, Debbie was commissioned to set up a Pacific Response Team on behalf of the Ministry of Health to lead the response to Pacific Communities during the Covid 19 outbreak. 

Debbie and her team of dedicated colleagues led the charge working all hours of the day and night for 9 straight weeks before easing the pace as we began to move down the Alert Levels.
