Unicef, in partnership with Gavi, is supporting PNG in ensuring that essential lifesaving vaccines are readily available in health facilities.
Health Minister Jelta Wong, on behalf of the government, received the 244 solar vaccine refrigerators and freezers in Port Moresby on the 5th of May.
The assistance is part of a larger support initiated by Gavi in 2020. At a cost of K14 million, the support involved the provision of 674 cold chain equipment to help boost PNG’s cold chain capacity for the safe storage of vaccines.
