Local NGO and program delivery partner to National Department of Health, Hope Worldwide PNG donated 500 reading books for the children in the Surgical and Oncology Pediatric wards at the Port Moresby General Hospital this week. PMGH Pediatric Surgeon Dr. Beena Dagam thanked Hope Worldwide PNG for their kind donation saying, “We have a little library section downstairs for the kids and now it would be nice to add these books to our small collection on the shelves so that children can learn and be entertained, while receiving medical treatment here”. Hope Worldwide PNG Country Director Priscilla Sine Mal presented the books and said, “This is yet another donation from HOPE worldwide PNG to PMGH through Friends of POMGEN. Many children who are admitted here do not have anything to pass the time or for learning so with this donation, we hope it will put a smile on the children’s faces”. PMGH Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Gwenda Anga also present to receive on behalf of the Children’s Cancer Ward thanked Hope Worldwide PNG, Dr. Dagam and Friends of POMGEN for facilitating this donation. “Some children spend a long time in the hospital, so these books provide support beyond their medical needs”, said Doctor. Anga.
