AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Child Nutrition: Simbu PHA has launched five days of training to help health workers treat severe child malnutrition, supporting a programme for children under five and pregnant mothers. Health Funding: NEFC says funding must reflect the actual cost of services across provinces and is studying costs and capacity in 20 provincial health authorities. Cancer Prevention: Health leaders are calling for a fully funded national HPV vaccination programme, alongside wider screening and early treatment for cervical cancer. System Pressures: Health Secretary Pascoe Kase says shortages of staff and medical supplies, weak infrastructure maintenance and gaps in primary care need urgent attention as PNG reviews its national health plan. Climate Risks: UNICEF warns the coming El Niño could worsen drought, water shortages, malnutrition and disease risks for children in Papua New Guinea.
