Morauta blasts Govt for state of hospital

THE state of the Port Moresby General Hospital is a national disgrace and the Government should be ashamed of its neglect, Opposition leader Sir Mekere Morauta said yesterday.
Seizing on the shocking situation at the hospital to attack the Government, Sir Mekere said he feared the Somare Government had become too obsessed with staying in power, and had abandoned its fundamental duty to govern.
He said turning a blind eye to the sick, and the hospitals and those who work there, was the worst form of negligence by the Government.
“It is criminal negligence.
“How can the Government sit by and allow the nation’s
premier public hospital to deteriorate to a level where medical staff had to beg for donations to keep patients alive?” Sir Mekere asked.
“How can we allow our hardworking nurses and doctors to subject themselves to great risk of contracting dangerous and infectious diseases, by allowing them to handle patients without the basic protective gear like gloves?
“The Prime Minister and his ministers should hold their heads in shame.
“If they do not know their job, there is only one honourable thing they can do – resign, and make way for those who can fix up this mess,” Sir Mekere said.

Does this mean; there is serious problems in the current Somare -Temu government? If there is; we're heading for the worst :(
