The response received from last Fridays SOS Appeal for the Port Moresby Emergency was overwhelming.
Chief of Emergency, Dr. Sam Yockopua thanked everyone who responded to the appeal.
“We received a huge support from the community at large; companies, organizations, families, friends and individuals.”
He highlighted the response by Oil Search Health Services as well as others who had come into the rescue scene with boxes of goodies.
Yockopua has apologised to the management of Port Moresby General Hospital for taking matters into his own hands adding that it was a risky move but the risk paid off.
“We have saved many needless as a result.”
He adds that the post was not in any way intended to discredit anyone's performance or ridicule anybody's credibility and it was not even an SOS call for the entire hospital.
“It was a one-off request for good Samaritans to give a helping hand for which we have had vastly positive outcome.”
“As of today (Tuesday 21/02/17), I appeal to people not to propagate anything further. We have achieved what we hoped to gain, and all matters of discussion should conclude henceforth,” says Yockopua.
