Health services in Papua New Guinea needs an overhaul

There is serious issue of lack of manpower, shortage of medical supplies, closure of aid posts, lack of health awareness, and total breakdown in many other public services were highlighted during the cholera outbreak in Morobe Province.

Basic drugs are not available at the aid posts or staff shortage or the aid post is closed, this is against humanity any government for the people’ and its agents and public servants can repay its people for giving them the mandate and trust to manage resources to serve them.

Sometime ago the National Exective Council (NEC) provided budget allocations for each province and district and even LLGs regarding funds released for service delivery. Can the Morobe Provincial Government and administration tell the people of Morobe how these funds are being used?

Hope it is not eaten up by some selfish individuals. It is time the provincial government starts to scrutinise the performance of their senior executives within the administration and assess whether they are delivering services.
