Dr. Umesh Gupta

The Association this morning presented a cheque to CEO Dr. Umesh Gupta, while a further K30,000 has been donated to the Sir Buri Kidu Heart Institution.

Gupta thanked the MAPNG for the support offered specifically to PMGH as this will assist in the improvements and changes in running and maintaining the hospital.

He said the money donated will be utilised on the hospital’s main current priority, which is to relocate the TB clinic from inside the hospital to the outside.

He is now the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer for the Port Moresby General Hospital.

The PNG Medical Board has licensed and awarded Dr Gupta a three year contract to practice in PNG.

With numerous years’ experience as a Vascular Surgeon, one of the new CEO’s main objectives is to improve clinical service delivery in the general hospital for patients.

Dr Gupta was the former Director for Clinical Service in Port Moresby General Hospital before taking on his new role as CEO on December 12, 2016.
