NDA responds to allegations of siding with Opposition

The National Doctors Association has brushed aside allegations on social media that an executive member of the association is siding with the Opposition.

The allegations made on social media stated that NDA Secretary Dr Sam Yockopua is siding with the opposition.

This follows the decision made by NDA to scale down operations on Monday, July 18.

NDA President James Naipao clarified that any decision that is made out to the stakeholders, members of the association and media is sanctioned by the NDA.

Naipao said that any member at the executive arm of the association can make a statement after approval is given by the association president.

“NDA will never collude with any section of the society to propagate that section’s agenda.

“It will serve its own interest independently and what is right for health in this country.

“Papua New Guinean doctors exclusively make up the association and any matters of nation’s interest and concerns also affect its members who are citizens of this country,” Naipao said.
