CEO defends antivenom charge

This comes after a recent post on social media about Charles Campbell Toxinology Centre condemning the decision by PMGH management to charge snakebite patients a K15000 fee for antivenom.

CEO Dr Umesh Gupta said the board, management, doctors and nurses of the Port Moresby General Hospital will not let any patient die for lack of funds.

Dr Gupta said it is completely false, libel and malicious to state that Port Moresby General Hospital is going to charge from those with no financial means.
