PNG Medical Board

He is now the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer for the Port Moresby General Hospital.

The PNG Medical Board has licensed and awarded Dr Gupta a three year contract to practice in PNG.

With numerous years’ experience as a Vascular Surgeon, one of the new CEO’s main objectives is to improve clinical service delivery in the general hospital for patients.

Dr Gupta was the former Director for Clinical Service in Port Moresby General Hospital before taking on his new role as CEO on December 12, 2016.

That is the bold statement from PNG Medical Board chairman Dr Osborne Liko recently, regarding the MOU agreement signed by PNG and Cuba Governments paving way for health professionals from Cuba to work in rural areas of the country.  

“Medical Board’s mandatory requirement is the paramount safety of our people, and we have found out with the Ministry of Health in Cuba and the universities we had intervened with, their practise and regulations are very strict to make sure they confirm to the standards in their accreditation of their training,” Dr Liko said.
