Paradise Private Hospital

This is due to a lack of system upgrades and essential healthcare facilities, highlighted Dr. Mahlon Paiva, an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Paradise Private Hospital, during the Pinktober Breast Cancer awareness.

Dr. Paiva expressed concerns about the difficulties in early cancer detection and treatment within the country. Despite various attempts by non-government organizations and government health systems to create a comprehensive cancer care system, little progress has been made. The establishment of a national cancer registry, a goal since the 1950s, remains unrealized.

This yearly initiative, called "Wear It Pink 2023," encourages people to wear pink attire or accessories to express their solidarity for breast cancer awareness and research.

The primary goals of this campaign are to boost awareness regarding breast cancer, encourage early detection, and generate funds for cancer research and support services.

It presents an opportunity for individuals, schools, workplaces, and communities to unite in a colourful display of commitment to eradicating breast cancer.

The hospital's Director of Finance, Janet Sios, has revealed that these changes are poised to redefine the hospital's outlook and enhance its services.

The hospital is abuzz with a series of strategic alterations, encompassing both its physical infrastructure and systemic functionalities.

A pivotal aspect of this transformation is the impending launch of the cutting-edge Health Management System (HMS), which promises to revolutionize patient care and streamline administrative processes.

The symposium is scheduled to take place in Port Moresby from September 10^th- 15th. The theme of this year's symposium, "Holistic Approach to Cancer," holds significant importance as it aims to address the multifaceted challenges posed by this devastating disease.

Janet Sios, the Finance Director at Paradise Hospital, expressed her gratitude and appreciation to the Papua New Guinea Medical Society and the Organizing Committee for extending the invitation and providing the hospital with the opportunity to be a part of this prestigious event.

Under the partnership, Paradise Hospital will avail its doctors to participate in the PNGCF’s cancer awareness and education programs throughout the country.

PNGCF Executive Manger Priscilla Napoleon and Board Director, Telitah Benn signed the agreement with PPH CEO Dr Robin Sios, PPH Director of Finance Janet Sios, and PPH Chief Operations Officer, Dennis Sapak.

The baby girl was born to mother Judy Pala, who underwent a cesarean section. She is her third child.

The baby is one of the five Christmas babies recorded for the hospital.

Their first Christmas baby, a girl, was delivered at 8am, weighing 3.7kg.

The four were delivered after lunch.

Boxing Day today however, has been quiet so far.

But the staff at the Labour ward say the day is still young.

A few may come in before midnight.

Compared to last Christmas, they said this one has been less hectic.

Customers to Sizzler’s Family Restaurant at Gateway hotel over the weekend and early this week have complained of food poisoning after eating there.

Natasha Tamanabae is one victim.

She ate at Sizzler’s restaurant on Sunday May 14 and then again on Monday. Tamanabae claims to have fallen ill with diarrhoea and vomiting soon after.   

She was admitted to Paradise Private Hospital for a day where she was hooked on four bags of glucose. She has been released since but still bed ridden. Her two cousins are also very ill.
