The ball has been held for a number of years to raise money towards helping the service meet emergency health needs of Port Moresby, National Capital District and Central Province residents.
This year, the service aims to raise K290, 000 which will go towards purchasing two new ambulances with full emergency fit out, including lights and sirens.
Matt Cannon, Advisor to St John Ambulance Service said the demand for emergency ambulance is increasing and with lack of funding from the government, the service now relies on the assistance of the community.
