AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Paediatric heart care push: Doctors are calling for more paediatric cardiac specialists at PNG’s four regional hospitals and basic screening training for more health workers, after a recent East Sepik screening found multiple heart conditions in children who may never reach provincial services. Eye health warning: Pacific International Hospital says cataracts are a major preventable problem in PNG (about 1.2 million people), with diabetes and processed-food habits raising the risk of earlier vision loss. Medicine safety concern: Health authorities are urged to crack down on illegal prescription medicine sales on buses and streets, warning that unregulated antibiotics can drive antimicrobial resistance and cause harm. Donations to ease shortages: Lutheran Health Services in Lae received a shipment of medical consumables from Queensland volunteers, expected to support facilities across Morobe, Madang and the Highlands. Mental health funding: A charity rugby 10s tournament will raise funds for Laloki Psychiatric Hospital, targeting patient care, facility upgrades and community mental health support. Disaster readiness: A US-led four-day disaster management and humanitarian assistance field training exercise in Morobe aims to strengthen province-level response for floods, landslides and maritime emergencies. Coastline waste and public health: Communities along the Motu-Koitabu coastline are appealing for action on rising rubbish and plastic pollution, linking it to health risks and harm to marine life. STEM and health workforce pipeline: PNG’s STEM overseas scholarship programme continues expanding, sending more students abroad—supporting long-term capacity for sectors including health.
