Survey Solution

Improving health services along Kokoda Track

 The Village Health Volunteers conduct health patrols along the track about every three months, with the support of the Kokoda Initiative. 

On their last patrol in November 2016, they saw a total of 623 people, diagnosed two with Tuberculosis (TB) and provided antenatal support to eight new mothers.

The latest health census will provide valuable information to improve future patrols, and help Sohe and Hiri District health officials in Oro and Central provinces to better plan the services provided by clinics and health centres.
