New ANGAU radiation oncologist

Dr. Lakshman Obeysekara, a senior oncologist from Sri Lanka with well over 25 years of experience, is currently on a three-year contract with the Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited (KPHL), the National Department of Health (NDoH) and the Morobe Provincial Health Authority (MoPHA).

Morobe Provincial Health Authority CEO, Dr Kipas Binga, said ANGAU used to host the only cancer service in PNG until a lack of specialists and equipment forced Papua New Guineans to dig deep to send their loved ones overseas for treatment.
