The government’s vision for healthcare in Papua New Guinea focuses on lasting solutions that address the country’s needs for skilled professionals and better services and the proposed new medical school is one way to addressing this. Health Minister Elias Kapavore announced that a new medical school will be established at the University of Papua New Guinea next year, aimed at tackling the critical shortage of healthcare workers. Kapavore stressed that the new medical school will train future doctors, nurses, and healthcare specialists to meet the growing demands of the population. He urged that Provincial Health Authorities (PHAs), and CEOs align their strategies with this vision to ensure the long-term success of the healthcare system. This medical school is just one part of the government’s broader plan to strengthen the health sector. By investing in education and building a strong foundation of skilled professionals, the government is working to ensure that future generations will have the knowledge and expertise to continue improving healthcare services for all Papua New Guineans. In addition to education, Kapavore highlighted the role of partnerships with organizations like Kumul Petroleum Holdings (KPHL) and the Australian government. These collaborations have already made significant contributions to improving infrastructure and healthcare delivery across the country. Through these efforts, the government aims to create a sustainable and effective healthcare system capable of meeting the needs of all citizens, both today and in the years to come.
