The Orei Health Center (OHC) reconstruction project is near its completion under the Orei Ward 1 & 2 People’s Association management in Imbongu District, Southern Highlands Province. Orei Ward 1 & 2 People’s Association President Mr. Steve Nomondo overseeing the project handpicked local experienced carpenter Mr. Balik Tali to lead the OHC reconstruction project centered in Orei Village, alongside 15 chosen youths willing to assist in the project as carpenter assistants (Labor Support). Led by Mr. Balik Tali, the 15 local youths were evaluated and carefully selected by the Association President according to their work capacity and their sensible background in their community. President Mr. Nomondo emphasized the OHC foundation work took three weeks to complete and in its mid-stage with the complete skeletal framework standing, covered with roof panels and sheets. Mr. Nomondo told PNG HAUSBUNG the project now is entering the installation stage of windows and doors to apply exterior walls before applying plumbing and electrical installations. According to Mr. Nomondo the project has been resilient to issues contrary to the unpredictable weather, and cooperation has been a key factor toward the progressive stages during reconstruction. “The OHC will be greatly beneficial for patients to find service in the centre of the community, especially neighbouring villages.” “Our locals travel as far as Chuave, Chimbu Province to find medical assistance, due prolonged lack of medical supply from our own health clinic for almost 50-60 years.” “Now, this will help them seek no further than in their own community,” said Mr. Nomondo. The OHC reconstruction included the Health Extension Officer’s (HEO) home, as a part of the HEO’s primary privilege in the job. Meanwhile, Mr. Nomondo with acknowledgment to the progressive stages concluded the reconstruction competition may take 3-4 weeks, including the HEO’s house.
