All should be following the intent of the Government’s free healthcare policy.
This was made clear by the Secretary of the Health Department, Pascoe Kase.
In a statement, Kase says while the policy does allow for charging a reduced rate for specialist services, these should be the exception rather than the rule in public hospitals.
He made this statement in response to an article published in one of the local dailies which quoted an anonymous source claiming that Modilon General Hospital in Madang was charging for the provision of health care.
