Last update: 15 minutes ago

Rural Connectivity for Learning: Tubusereia Junior High School in Central Province has its first high-speed internet via a Starlink connection, backed by Lightspeed PNG and Pasivika Konnect, with filtered access and a monthly data allowance to support teaching and school administration. WASH for Health and Schools: In Wau-Waria, Pinetop residents welcomed a new community water supply plus fencing for Pinetop Primary School and a five-year WASH program to improve health, education and living standards. Child Heart Care Partnership: Operation Open Heart Foundation and Air Niugini formalised a strengthened MOU to keep provincial cardiac screening moving and to fly children and guardians to Port Moresby for surgery. Food Safety Push in Port Moresby: NCDC ran a food safety workshop urging shared responsibility between the National Department of Health, food businesses and regulators to reduce public health risks. Remote Health by Air: Australia and Adventist Aviation Services launched a partnership to keep medical evacuations and essential supplies reaching PNG’s isolated communities. Cancer and Earlier Care: Port Moresby General Hospital reported cancer as the top cause of inpatient mortality, with breast, cervical and head/neck cancers highlighted alongside concerns about late presentation. El Niño Preparedness in Hela: Hela’s disaster committee was activated to run public awareness and planning for the 2026–2027 El Niño, including water source mapping and contingency measures. Bird Flu Update (Regional): Australia confirmed a fifth migratory bird case of bird flu, with officials urging calm as there’s no sign of spread to poultry or mass wildlife deaths. Kuru and Health Lessons from Research: New research argues cannibalism taboos likely evolved because of infection risks, pointing to kuru among PNG’s Fore people as a key example. Infrastructure for Specialist Care: Work continues on the Koroba Level 4 District Hospital in Hela, a K65 million project aimed at bringing specialist services closer to remote communities.
