As part of its ongoing commitment to support health and wellbeing within Papua New Guinea’s justice system, Pacific International Hospital (PIH) conducted free eye screenings for members of the judiciary during a retreat held at Loloata Island Resort on 5 August 2025.
The screening was part of the Judicial Wellness Initiative, a collaborative effort between PIH and the Papua New Guinea Judiciary aimed at promoting long-term health among judiciary staff.
A total of 24 Judges and their spouses benefited from the service, which focused on the early detection of vision issues and raising awareness about preventive eye care.
PIH General Manager, Sales & Marketing, Mr. Shadab Anwar Siddiqui said, “We’re proud to continue supporting the PNG Judiciary through targeted wellness programs. Our collaboration ensures that staff working in vital sectors like the judiciary have access to preventive and quality healthcare services.”
The initiative follows the success of International Judicial Well-being Day, held on 25 July 2025 at the Waigani Court Grounds.
During that event, PIH provided free basic health checks to over 200 staff members from the National Judicial Staff Services (NJSS), including blood pressure, blood glucose, and BMI assessments.
The Judicial Wellness Initiative highlights a growing recognition of the importance of preventive healthcare in sustaining an effective and resilient judiciary.
Both PIH and the judiciary have pledged to continue working together to deliver accessible and high-quality health services for legal professionals across the country.
“The Judicial Wellness Initiative reflects the shared commitment of PIH and the Papua New Guinea Judiciary to promote health and wellness among its workforce,” Mr. Siddiqui added.
