Group sets sights on Mt Everest

The organisation was established after members experienced personal loss. Friends of the Madang Provincial Hospital was created to proactively support the hospital.

Help For Madang’s Mortuary

This comes after a plea from the hospital’s morgue attendant last week for a new freezer. He said nine dead bodies were being stored in a container and were decaying due to the freezer not cooling.

According to the Madang Provincial Hospital (MPH) Executive Officer, Fidelis Waipma the continuous power outage was the cause of the problem since last year.

He said the freezers are not working properly and the dead bodies are decaying. This has been ongoing and the hospital have to tell people from Madang to take the bodies back home for burial.
