Speaking as a concerned citizen at the UPNG Medical Faculty’s forum yesterday evening (Sunday), Dr Sam Yockopua from the Pom Gen Emergency Department said: “I will not allow that to happen because when the academic year closes, that will mean that Papua New Guinea will be down with 40 resident medical officers.
“Papua New Guinea will be down with resident dentists, pharmacists and all other cadres of health workers.
“We are running specialist training at the medical school; specialist training for nurses, big scientific programs, etcetera,” Dr Yockopua stated.
