The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) has received a timely donation recently from the Rotary Australia, a 40-foot container filled with lifesaving medical equipment’s.
The donated items include Medical Equipment, IT Equipment, furniture and other materials as requested.
Through the collaborative efforts of the NCD PHA’s Chairman, Rotary Boroko and Rotary Australia, the procurement and shipment of the requested items was possible.
The Rotary Australia representative Mr. Dickson Ken acknowledged the people who contributed to making this donation a success. Mr. Ken was the Rotarian who dedicated his time and resources to help schools and hospitals in Papua New Guinea.
“A few months ago, members of the Rotary Club of Brisbane together with NCDPHA leadership team inspected Gerehu Hospital to identify urgent needs and develop a clear wish list,” said Mr. Ken.
“My dream is to ensure that schools and health facilities in PNG will be properly equipped and tools that will enable the continuity of the service provided to my fellow country men and women”.
Mr. Ken further acknowledged the Rotary Australia Repurposing Equipment Northern Region (RARE) for making this possible through their incredible generosity and partnership.
“It is a charity work that I do as a proud citizen under the Rotary Club of Brisbane for the people of National Capital District to receive the health services that they deserve”.
A fellow Rotarian and Community leader Mr. Petere Pelepa expressed his gratitude towards his colleague for aiding the Gerehu Hospital through charity to support the health services in Port Moresby.
CEO for NCD PHAS Dr. Robin Oge further acknowledges Mr. Ken and Rotary Boroko for these timely donations made to Gerehu Hospital.
“The medical equipment donated will be put to greater use”, said Dr Oge.
Dr Oge added that the NCD PHA’s management are doing their best to ensure that better health services are being delivered to the people in the National Capital through collaborative efforts of its partners, NGOs and the National Government.
“The NCD PHA remains committed to our course to serve the people with the health services they deserve.
