On Friday, 25 June 2021, 12 Australian medical experts, who will be working side-by-side with PNG healthcare workers over the coming three months. The 12 Australian medical experts comprises of Infectious Disease Specialists, Emergency Nurses and Midwives, the group represent a core component of the ongoing Clinical Support Program proudly supported by the PNG-Australia Partnership.

WHO CC UTS in collaboration with JID Australia will be working closely with the four midwives who will be acting as educational advisors at ANGAU Hospital and Port Moresby General Hospital to implement and deliver training programs such as the Essential Obstetric Care (EoC) and Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC) Courses and the assessment of clinical practice and governance in both hospitals.

Out of the four midwives, WHO CC UTS is excited to be working with Heather and Jane once again; who assisted the Centre in delivering the Maternal and Child Health Initiative in Papua New Guinea between 2012-2015. We would like to extend a warm welcome to Phoebe and Lisa; and look forward to working with all four midwives over the coming months.
