The 13th annual PNG Nurses Symposium, from October 10-14 in Lae, will enable nurses to gain substantial knowledge in the ever changing trends in the medical field. 

The theme, “Nurses: A force for change, improving and strengthening health system’s resilience through public private partnership”, is in line with the free health care policy.

PNGNA acting vice president Fredrick Kebai said nurses are agents of change and implementers of policies.

“Free health services are a big task which the Government has put before us.

Preparations are well underway and nurses from both urban and rural hospitals and health facilities will travel into Lae for the week-long event.

The symposium is partly hosted by the PNG Nurses Association (PNGNA) with the theme “Nurses: A force for change, improving and strengthening health system’s resilience through public, private partnership.”

PNGNA acting vice president Fredrick Kebai explained that the theme is in line with the Government’s free health care policy where the nurses are agents of change and implementers of policies.
