The Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB) recently hosted the groundbreaking ceremony for the Soroken Health Center to improve the health services provided to the people. A sizable catchment population currently served by run-down health sub- centers will receive comprehensive primary health care services, surgical and medical treatments, health promotion, and other public health interventions from the Soroken Health Center, a significant infrastructure investment. Papua New Guinea Health Minister Dr. Lino Tom MP, who attended the ceremony, said delivering safe and efficient health services requires a health infrastructure that is appropriately equipped, well-structured, and suitable for its intended use. Minister Tom was accompanied by Ishmael Toroama MHR, President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville; Peter Tsiamalili Jnr, Regional Member for Bougainville; Dennis Lokonai MHR, Minister for Health Bougainville and Joseph Mona MHR, Minister for Technical Services Bougainville. Also in attendance was Carolyn Poli, LLG President for Mahari constituency; Mr Clement Totavun, Bougainville Health Secretary; representatives from the National Department of Health along with the Australian High Commission, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), who are funding this project.
