Community Health Worker

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) partners with Kompiam District Hospital to fly medical teams to remote communities in Enga Province to foster hope for disease prevention, education and envisioning a brighter future for the children of the communities.

Recently, St John Ambulance in partnership with the Central Provincial Health Authority (CPHA) presented a reservist ambulance Land cruiser to the Bereina Health Centre.  The vehicle was donated by Digicel Foundation.

It is yet another much-needed service of St John Ambulance services in Central Province. The presentation of the reservist ambulance was a timely relief for the struggling health staff.  

This was possible through a refresher course supported by the Australia-China-PNG Trilateral Malaria Project.

The three-day course from 27 to 29 March was held at the University of Papua New Guinea’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Port Moresby, and facilitated by malaria experts from the National Department of Health (NDoH), PNG Institute of Medical Research, Central Public Health Laboratory and the World Health Organisation.
