AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 minutes ago

Medicine supply overhaul: Papua New Guinea’s Health Minister Dr Billy Joseph says the medicine crisis stems from five major failures in the national supply chain, with drugs disappearing before reaching patients and empty hospital shelves; he’s set a June 30, 2027 deadline for procurement and distribution reforms and is moving to lock in funding, including a proposed National Medicines Trust Fund of K392 million. Health governance push: Dr Joseph has ordered closer scrutiny of Provincial Health Authorities, asking boards for deeper details on governance, finances and service delivery to improve accountability. HIV warning: Cardinal Sir John Ribat is calling for urgent action as PNG’s HIV epidemic worsens, warning prevention and investment have slipped and urging stronger awareness, testing, treatment and support. Oral health drive: Colgate PNG marks 15 years of National Tooth Brushing Day, reaching 484,265 students and teachers with oral hygiene education in partnership with the National Department of Health. Food and nutrition focus: Agriculture leaders are urging stronger partnerships and accountability to tackle PNG’s food security and nutrition challenges, with research and reliable data highlighted as key to policy and investment. Access barriers in remote areas: Communities in Kira LLG say lack of mobile network coverage delays emergency care and cuts families off from services and learning. Public health risk from water delays: Port Moresby’s water repair work is delayed after a landowner blockade, raising fears for the city’s water supply and health security.
