NZ backs PNG’s COVID-19 response

In conjunction with the National Department of Health and UNICEF, New Zealand’s contribution will help to support Papua New Guinea’s COVID-19 Provincial Preparedness Action Plan and will deliver critical medical supplies, including ventilators.

It will also support the provision of training activities, maintenance and other logistical costs related to the use of the medical supplies.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has placed considerable new pressures on the health systems of countries all over the world,” High Commissioner Taula explained.
