Covid-19 tests too expensive

Letters

STUDENTS are told to provide medical certificates to enrol in schools this year.
This includes a test for the Covid-19.
The fees for a Covid-19 test is between K650 to K800.
Can the Government clarify if they will be subsidising the fee for these tests?
I wonder what happened to the six testing clinics that were set up in Port Moresby to do free testing.
What happened to Rita Flynn?
They aren’t doing tests anymore.
How does the Government expect parents to pay K650-K800 at private hospitals for tests?
It is a huge joke.
Where are the PCR testing kits that were donated?
There were millions of it from donor partners.
Why can’t they be used for student enrolment?

  • Unbelievable if it’s true. It’s an health emergency so why charge people for the test. It should be freely available.
