These types of health centres, dotted around the country, are run by dedicated nurses and aids who, in the more isolated areas of PNG often have to work without the proper equipment and drugs.
The Catholic Church is this area does a lot for the health of the locals and runs the Vunapope Hospital (Haus sik) which provides affordable health care for everyone. It is run by hard-working doctors (doktas) (usually volunteers from Australia and Germany) and local nurses (nes).
We raise our hats to you all!!!!
I flew to Lae last Saturday for work (will be back 3 May), so will be leaving you in the confident hands of He-Who-Doesn't-Blog and Benson (the Boy Cat). Hopefully they will remember to post every other day and keep their feet off the coffee table!!!!

I'll second that! Don't work too hard sweetie!hugs
Healthcare is something we all take for granted down here, yet our northern neighbours must rely on volunteers and the church to look after them.
I'll raise my hat to them too.
Hi Jules! You probably didn’t notice, but I was absent for a while, but now ity's your turn... ;)) Anyhow, I missed your posts and comments, so I drop by to pay homage to your volunteers. Great job!
Hope you have a great week and look forward to seeing you back!

Nice post and informative too.
Well done to all involved .. can not imagine no health care for folks.
"He Who Doesn't Blog" is doing a fine job of keeping things going in your absence. -:)
It's a shame health care is so hit or miss in so much of the world. Kudos to those dedicated souls who volunteer!
Have a nice trip, Jules.
Yes, I say hats off to all the hard workers who take care of us too.
Bravo for paying homage to them. They certainly deserve it!
Have a good trip - psssst, they had the feet on the coffee table!
Hi Jules--I had to change things--while I was sick someone came to my blog and left a ton of nasty messages--just talking about their life--lots of swear words, crazy-- very hard to check on and delete--as they were doing it in the middle of the night.
I changed my icon to look like a guy, too.
