City Pharmacy and Paradise Private Hospital joined the PNG Cancer Foundation to host basic health checks and cancer awareness sessions at the Holiday Inn (Waigani, Port Moresby), closing off a 2-day workshop schedule held ahead of World Cancer Day (4 February).
More than 60 participants from corporate companies, individuals and the hotel staff took the opportunity to get their basic health check done and participated one of three (3) different cancer information sessions conducted by the PNGCF Health Educator team, including Paradise Private Hospital’s Dr. Polapoi Chalau who facilitated a session on breast cancer.
The health check campaign is an initiative aimed at building a stronger cancer prevention campaign in 2023 by incorporating basic health check as a component of the foundation’s existing education and awareness programs.
PNGCF is grateful to the supporters of the health check campaign including volunteers from Port Moresby General Hospital & UPNG, and implementation support from CPL PNG , Paradise Private Hospital and the Holiday Inn.
