Medicine Shortages Relief: Nine-Mile Clinic and Gerehu General Hospital received K50,000 in essential emergency medicines after reporting nil stock of common drugs. Population Pressure on Care: Dr Glen Mola warns PNG’s growing population is straining maternity services, with rising demand for safe births. HIV Testing Debate: A call says compulsory HIV testing would be negligence, arguing voluntary testing better protects dignity and trust.
