Deputy Chairman of the National Health Board, Dr Mathias Sapuri, said this in a statement released today.
DWU’s accreditation is among the steps taken to address the workforce crisis in the health sector.
Dr Sapuri said mechanisms were already in place to tackle the manpower shortage in PNG’s health sector, such as the Health Work Force Enhancement Plan 2012-2017.
“And as a result, six more nursing schools and seven community health workers schools were opened, while the capacities of the existing schools increased.
