Lae COVID-19 ward to be moved

Chief executive officer, Dr Kipas Binga, said they are looking at preparing the new TB ward at ANGAU for COVID-19 patients.

In spite of concerns about the risk that other patients and residents would be exposed to, Dr Binga said other hospitals in the country are looking after their COVID-19 patients on campus.

“Us, we were doing it outside because of the redevelopment but I believe we should have it on campus,” he stated.

“In the weeks ahead, we might be moving the patients from the current setup back to the hospital just so it’s easier to look after everyone.
