AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Digital Health: Papua New Guinea is introducing Australia-supported OpenELIS Global to digitise laboratory records and help health workers access test results faster, laying groundwork for a connected national health network. Cervical Cancer: WHO warns PNG’s burden is likely undercounted, estimating more than 1,000 new cases and 650 deaths a year. Free HPV vaccination for girls aged 9–14 is due to begin in the National Capital District on November 9. Cancer Care: A new allied health training institute at Port Moresby General Hospital will build local expertise in oncology, radiation therapy and related specialties. Breast Cancer: Advocates are calling for routine screening, noting mammograms are available only in Port Moresby, Lae and Kimbe, while many women reach hospital with advanced disease. Remote Care: Samaritan Aviation says it has completed nearly 3,000 medical evacuations and supplies about 40 aid posts, serving isolated communities across East Sepik and Gulf provinces.
