Chief of Emergency

Port Moresby General Hospital Chief of Emergency, Sam Yockopua said there hasn’t been any body or bodies brought in regarding the rumoured post on social media.

The news of the bodies would have reached the hospital by now if they were brought in but none has in the past couple of days.

The rumoured posts on social media about the killing of six men who had raped a woman and killed her along the Hiritano Highway was posted over the weekend and received a nationwide response from the general public.

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.”
