The Friends of Madang Provincial Hospital organization is gearing up for its annual fundraising climb, scheduled for October this year. Spearheaded by Vice Chairperson Interim, Ms. Pamela Eugenio, the organization, born out of personal loss experiences within the hospital, is dedicated to proactive support for the community and hospital. Eugenio explains, the focus of this year's fundraising efforts will be on the Early Detection Cervical Cancer Clinic and the Madang Provincial Hospital (MPH), crucial facilities heavily reliant on donations for operation. “The clinic serves women not only in Madang but also from Morobe and the Highlands region.” Despite financial hurdles, with each member responsible for their own trip expenses, the group aims to raise K100, 000. She says support is expected from local businesses, individuals, and organizations both locally and internationally. The fundraising timeline includes a climb in October, followed by a grace period for sponsors to fulfill pledges, reporting, presentation, and equipment purchase for targeted departments. She added that to ensure transparency, funds are managed through Bank South Pacific, with an Executive Committee overseeing decision-making. The organization's efforts are endorsed by the Madang Provincial Health Authority, with openness to collaboration with various entities. Since its inception in 2019, the organization has successfully raised over K110, 000, supporting MPH and other healthcare units. Meanwhile interested parties can contact the organization through their Facebook page or email or contact Pamela Eugenio at +675 8241 9020 for further information.
