The Western Provincial Health Authority (WPHA) delivered 18 cartons of medical drugs to the Mougulu and Nomad health facilities in the North Fly District over the weekend.
These much-needed drugs include basic supplies of Paracetamol, Amoxicillin, Aspirin, RDT for Malaria, Chloramphenicol, Septrin, etc.
It has been a struggle for health workers to continue treating patients with very limited drug supplies at these facilities.
Sally Llyod from the Strickland Bosavi Foundation based at Mougulu said that the timely delivery of these vital medical drugs is a major relief to the health workers who can now treat patients.
WPHA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Niko Wuatai thanked the Fly River Provincial Government for funding the cost of freight and the dedicated North Fly District Health Team for delivering the medicines on time.
“I look forward to working in partnership with Fly River Provincial Government, the District Development Authorities, Churches and other partners to deliver positive health outcomes for the people going forward,” Dr. Wuatai added.
WPHA remains committed to providing accessible and optimal healthcare services to the people of Western Province.
