NKW

MPHA facility ‘ready and available’

The K4 million facility, which is located at 11-Mile, has catered to around 100 persons under investigation so far.

The COVID-19 isolation and quarantine facility at 11-Mile was an arrangement between the Health Department, the Morobe Provincial Health Authority and NKW.

Lae isolation facilities

NKW has its own setup while an adjacent facility comes under the Morobe Provincial Health Authority.

Residents and health workers have been raising questions regarding the 11-Mile isolation facility within the NKW premises.  

The matter was brought to the fore on March 17th when staff at the ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital held a forum at the ANGAU chapel and called for their own isolation facility.
