Daru Hospital Lacking Medicine

Coupled with the lack of basic services in water and electricity supply on the island is even a serious issue for its local government to address. Several residents have raised concerns and are hoping something is done.

Daru Hospital CEO, Dr Niko Wuatai confirmed the shortage of medicine and said some money was recently allocated to buy medicine supply in Port Moresby and they are still waiting.

He said there is no proper process in place to fast track the purchase of medicines as he just joined the hospital and is not aware of the process involved.
