Celebrating Women Leaders: IWD 2025
In honor of International Women’s Day 2025, we are thrilled to celebrate and acknowledge the incredible contributions of 30 Pacific women leaders.
This is our way of saying “thank you” and shining a light on their strength, resilience, and leadership.
“Minerva Patu is a dynamic businesswoman, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and a proud Pacific community leader whose influence spans generations. As the driving force behind Patu Medics, Minerva has turned her vision into a life-saving mission—bringing essential health services to the doorstep of her people and breaking down barriers to access with culturally sensitive care.
With deep roots in service and a heart for her community, Minerva is a fierce advocate for women’s health and wellbeing, championing early detection, preventative care, and empowering women with knowledge and support. Her leadership reflects a lifetime of dedication to lifting others, especially Pacific women, through compassion, advocacy, and action.
Minerva is a trusted ally and strong voice within the Pacific Women Professional and Business Network (PWPBN). Her wisdom, generosity, and unshakable presence make her a pillar within the network and the wider Pacific diaspora. Whether in business, health advocacy, or community service, Minerva leads with purpose, leaving a legacy of strength, dignity, and deep love for her people”
