Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) Chief Executive Officer Dr. Paki Molumi stressed that PMGH will assist the National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) where necessary to ensure that the newly established Metoreia Health Centre is fully functioning to relieve PMGH.
This after clinical coordinators from PMGH, in collaboration with staff from the NCDPHA, conducted a tour of the Metoreia Health Centre, a Level 3 hospital located in Hanuabada, recently.
The tour was led by NCDPHA CEO Dr. Robin Oge and PMGH Director of Medical Services Dr. Kone Sobi, who inspected each room, focusing on equipment and facilities dedicated to maternal and child health services.
Dr. Sobi commended all contributors to the development of the health centre.
“I acknowledge everyone who contributed to making this facility a reality. It is a small step in the right direction for health care delivery in the city and the country as a whole.”
“In particular, we are most grateful to the Australian government for funding this project and all leaders who contributed to this development,” stated Dr. Sobi.
Meanwhile, Dr. Molumi added that this initiative was to strengthen the patient referral pathway to reduce the load at PMGH.
Dr. Robin Oge thanked PMGH for their support and said he looked forward to working closely with the clinicians to improve health services.
Once the health centre is operational, it will significantly improve access to health services for the residents of Hanuabada and nearby communities.
The tour concluded with a visit to the 6-Mile Clinic to inspect the newly constructed tuberculosis (TB) clinic and ward.
