POMGEN CEO THANKS NFA FOR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
The Port Moresby General Hospital (POMGEN) CEO Dr Molumi also congratulated the Kidney Transplant Project Steering Committee Chairman Dr Otki Poki and the committee members for the tireless effort to ensure all requirements are met for a successful first kidney transplant.
Dr Molumi was speaking during the recent commissioning of two key machines to support the kidney transplant program.
He says by introducing a kidney transplant program, they can free up patients from the dialysis machine so that they can live a free economical life rather than been hooked to the dialysis machines that will be used in the very first kidney transplant at the POMGEN.
Dr Molumi says the kidney transplant service will be extended to the neighboring pacific countries so that their patients can have the procedure done in our country driving medical tourism which achieves the Governments objective of growing the economy.
He acknowledged the remaining challenge of finalizing the kidney transplant policy and legal framework, aiming to conduct the first transplant as a Golden Jubilee gift to the people of Papua New Guinea.
