Wewak hospital gets K10m funding

Wewak General Hospital have received K10 million funding from the National Government to help improve its run down infrastructure.

Prime Minister Peter O'Neill announced this at Yangoru Station this afternoon.

O’Neill was invited to East Sepik by Yangoru Saussia MP and Trade Minister Richard Maru to launch the Sepik chicken, grain and cocoa projects.

O'Neill said funds have already been sent to the hospital account.

He also challenge the hospital board and management to use the money for its intended purpose because an early funding of K10 million was misappropriated and the case is before the courts.

Another K1 million funding was also given to revive the school of nursing in the province.

Yangoru rural Hospital was also the proud recipient of K1 million.
