Morobe PHA

Continue attacks, health services to halt

Chief executive officer, Dr Kipas Binga, made this known in a circular dated October 27th.

Health workers have been suffering verbal and physical attacks due to fears created by COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

Following the recent attacks in Lae, the senior executive management of the MoPHA has resolved to immediately stop all mobile clinics, be it COVID-19 related or routine.

Psychiatric patients displaced

The Morobe Provincial Health Authority has decided to relocate COVID-19 patients from the Sir Ignatius Kilage indoor complex to ANGAU’s TB ward, displacing other patients in the process.

Staff at ANGAU were taken aback when a circular was delivered to the TB ward on the afternoon of Friday, the 1st of October, advising them that the new TB ward will be freed to cater for COVID-19 patients.
