Popondetta Operating Theater opened

Coinciding with the Girua airport opening, the Popondetta General Hospital's Operating Theater was opened today as well.

The delegation paid a brief visit to Oro Province's main referral hospital, visiting patients and to see how the hospital is fairing with the recently donated medical equipment.

Prime Minister, Peter O'Neil, told all gathered that the government has invested enormously in the country's health care and called on the Provincial government to work closely with the government to channel more health intervention programs.

The Prime Minister also announced that processes to launch the Oro Provincial Health Authority are in the pipeline and will be launched soon.

Meanwhile Ijivitari MP Richard Masere pledged a commitment of K100 000 from his electorate's PSIP funds to Oro Province Nurse's Association to host the Medical Symposium in September.
