​Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH)

Chief Executive Officer for PMGH Dr Paki Molumi says this represents 35 percent of the contract value of more than K47 million and marks the start of the final phase of the project.

The cancer facility project was allocated K50 million by the national government in the 2022 budget.

This phase of the project will include what Dr Molumi says is a total feed out of works like plumbing, electrical and engineering services, air condition installation and radiation safety.

Specialized healthcare requires high-specialized skills, medical equipment, instruments, drugs and consumables. Most of this expertise is not available in the country.

Last week, four Singaporean health specialists visited PMGH to conduct pediatric laparoscopic surgeries with the local team. The visiting team consisted of two surgeons and two anesthetists from KK Women's and Children’s Hospital in Singapore.
