Last update: 4 hours ago

Mother and Child Health: UNICEF says Papua New Guinea needs a stronger Triple Elimination strategy to stop mother-to-child transmission of HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis. Nursing Workforce: New Ireland has signed a partnership with Hong Kong’s Tung Wah College, creating scholarship pathways for local nurses to pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Hospital Investment: A proposed surgical centre at Port Moresby General Hospital is among nine projects in a K5 billion China-PNG development portfolio. HIV Services: Health Extension Officer Teresa Koratsi says HIV testing is voluntary and requires consent; a Port Moresby workshop is also promoting workplace awareness and support. Digital Health: With Australian support, PNG is introducing OpenELIS Global to improve how laboratories manage and share patient results. Cancer Screening: WHO warns cervical cancer cases in PNG may be higher than reported, adding to calls for earlier screening.
