THE Health Department will install two machines to test the quality of medicine at strategic sites.
Department official Charles Kaprangi made this known during the swearing-in ceremony of the Nonga Base Hospital board members last week in Rabaul.
He said the department had been working hard to rectify loopholes in its medical supplies system.
It purchased the two machines last November.
Kaprangi said the department was undergoing medical supplies reforms to ensure that systems used to get medical supplies to all health facilities were working effectively.
“The health department assures that we follow all the right processes and procedures in place to make sure that people are treated with quality medicine.
“We want to assure provinces that we are trying to make sure that you are getting quality medicine,” he said.
