Papua New Guinea MOROBE’s Bulolo development authority yesterday presented K400,000 to Indent Pharmacy Limited to support the health system in the district.
The development authority, under the leadership of chairman and local MP, Sam Basil Jr, passed a resolution to implement and invest in health by engaging the pharmaceutical company to supply medical drugs to the four (Buang, Mumeng, Watut and Bulolo) local level governments’ (LLGs) health centres.
Basil Jr emphasised that the presentation was based on two points: “Morobe is leading the way for the Nogat Marasin Campaign and people’s lives matter.”
He explained that the funding would cater for basic drugs like anti-malaria and antibiotics, which were to be supplied directly to the four LGGs’ health centres.
“We cannot wait for the Government because there is always delay,” Basil Jr said.
“It is my responsibility as the development authority’s chairman to make funding available to Indent Pharmacy to stock medicine on every shelf of the four health centres.”
The pharmaceutical company had been working with the late MP, Sam Basil, and it was appropriate for the district to take the company onboard to continue the partnership in delivering medical supplies to the people of Bulolo.
Basil Jr challenged the company to fill every shelf of the four LLGs’ health centres and was looking forward to working with them.
