DONALD AIMS TO UPGRADE KIUNGA DISTRICT HOSPITAL TO A REFERRAL HOSPITAL

The Member for North Fly and Vice Minister for Mining and Border Development, at the recent 44th graduation of Rumginae School of Nursing said he has already secured funding to rebuild the Kings District Hospital.

According to the local MP, the funding will be used to purchase the very important life saving equipment, which will compete with the Port Moresby General Hospital, Lae’s Angau Hospital, Pacific International Hospital and the Kundiawa hospital.

He mentioned that once these life saving equipment are purchased, there will be no need to send patients to seek treatment outside, but these life saving services will be provide for the people right at their doorsteps.

Mr. Donald further called on the Western Provincial Health Authority (WPHA) to step up, join hands with the North Fly DDA to create more job opportunities for the graduates passing out of Rumginae.

He also assured the Western Provincial Health Authority that whatever programs they are rolling out in North Fly, the North Fly DDA will always step in and assist.

Donald also plans to increase the salary for Health Staffs and Teaching Staffs who serve in remote areas of North Fly because they need it more than the staff in towns.
