Collaboration will ensure vital services reach our people.

With the Lae Fire Station making space available for SJA’s two vehicles, Hase is calling for further collaboration, especially with government agencies, to ensure this vital service reaches the rural parts of Morobe.
“So the appeal the government, please, I would like to call for your support,” he stated. “Let’s work together, support our ambulance so that they can continue to roll out their important services to the communities.
“I would like to also make a call to all the agencies within the city to work together with St John’s for the common good of our people, our residents and our business houses.”
