The Emergency Unit at the Port Moresby General Hospital has been quiet this festive period.
Unlike the past festive seasons, this year’s Accident & Emergency (A&E) cases have dramatically dropped.
Nurses and doctors who were on duty said compared to the previous years’ fatalities, this Christmas and New Year was unusually quiet.
“Still we had doctors and nurse on standby to attend to any minor cases that were being brought in during Christmas and New Year period,” they stated.
