RURAL HEALTH CENTERS IN MADANG GET HELP WITH MEDICAL DRUGS

The Inland Pipeline Landowners’ Association (IPL LOA) has donated K50,000 worth of essential medical drugs to four rural health facilities within the Ramu NiCo Project area in Madang province with the aim to improve access to basic healthcare services for local communities during this time of hardship.

The medicines were bought through the Association's Community Development Fund (CDF) and delivered to the Buksak Aid Post, Ono Aid Post, Naru Aid Post, and Walium Health Centre. Each aid post received K12,000 worth of medicines, while Walium Health Centre received K14,000. These medicines are vital drugs used to treat common illness and save lives.

The decision to support these facilities was made by IPL LOA Chairman Mr. Yaune Kasime and his Executive Committee, recognizing the important role these health centres play in serving the people. Even though the facilities are not covered under the current Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), the leaders chose to act and help meet urgent health needs.

The CDF program has been supervised by the Ramu NiCo Community Affairs Department since 2020, under the guidance of Deputy Superintendent Mr. Kuipa Tonny. The Department ensures that all funds are used transparently and in line with community priorities.

This initiative shows IPL LOA’s strong commitment to social responsibility and community wellbeing.
