Porgera Urban Health Centre

New maternity ward to aid expecting mothers

The construction has been welcomed by Health Extension Officer (HEO) in charge of the clinic, Jerry Maku, and his staff who received building materials late last month from Porgera Joint Venture (PJV).

“A lot of mothers come here to deliver but we don’t have a delivery area. I am thankful the management heard about my request and came in a fast way,” a very appreciative Maku said.

Maku is also the health officer for Porgera district, including the Paiela sub-district.
