A major health outreach program will happen on Sunday, 27 July 2025, at Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby, offering free medical services city residents, thanks to a partnership between the Filipino Association of Papua New Guinea (FAPNG), the Philippine Embassy, and the National Capital District Commission (NCDC). The initiative was formally announced during a press conference attended by key leaders including His Excellency Edgar Tomas Auxilian, Ambassador of the Philippines to PNG; NCD Governor Powes Parkop, FAPNG President Jonathan Plasabas, FAPNG Vice President, Arne Alfajardo and Consul Jomar T. Sadie. Ambassador Edgar Tom Auxilian expressed delight in marking the country’s 50th Independence with this medical outreach. “We are privileged to celebrate this golden anniversary with you by taking part in meaningful activities. Among them is this medical mission, which we hope will provide real and tangible support to the people.” The outreach will provide free consultations, minor treatments, HIV awareness, health education, and wellness services, particularly for individuals and families with limited access to healthcare. Governor Parkop welcomed the partnership, calling it a timely and much-needed support as the city grapples with significant health challenges. “The mission aims to serve around 400–500 city residents, and we see this as a very welcome and generous gesture from our Filipino community.” “Health remains a top priority for the city as we have major challenges, including tuberculosis.” FAPNG President Jonathan Plasabas said the group is building on a successful outreach held last year, where nearly 500 people were treated. “Sadly, we cannot cater around 600 that come to the locations. Hence, we are calling for some volunteers, local doctors that might join us this coming July 27, so we can serve more.” Governor Parkop also confirmed that the NCDC is investing in long-term health infrastructure, including a PGK5 million TB ward at Six Mile, PGK10 million for the Port Moresby General Hospital, and plans for a Level 4 hospital at Nine Mile. The city is also in talks with the Bank of China for a PGK 100 million grant to upgrade clinics across the capital. Organizers are encouraging the public to attend the outreach on Sunday and are also calling for support through medical supplies, logistics, and volunteer manpower.
