Morobe’s Tewai-Siassi district

Complete shutdown for Etep

In a notice dated November 4th, the hospital’s executive management team advised that their financial situation has not changed.

They have reached this stage in spite of the Lutheran Health Services’ plea to the government in September to give them their operational grant.

“Due to lack of funding and multiple COVID-19 infected staff, we are forced to shut down operations,” stated Etep’s management.
