On Monday 28 February 2022, the EU Delegation to PNG signed an agreement with St John Ambulance which renew the EU’s engagement of St John as the primary domestic emergency medical evacuation and retrieval service for its delegates.
St John will also assist EU delegates with home medical services to help them access health care when it’s urgent, but not an emergency.
In an important step to promoting emergency preparedness, St John is helping the EU in upgrading all its existing first aid kits and installing defibrillators (AEDs) at all its worksites in Port Moresby.
Partnerships like this provide delegates with the comfort that quality emergency medical care is only one call away.
CEO Matt Cannon said, the St John Ambulance Service stands ready to support government departments, businesses, and other delegations with the same level of close partnership.
Any spare toeas raised by St John through important partnerships, like this one, are reinvested to improve the free public ambulance services.
