Dr Molumi’s response to criticism too weak

Letters

PORT Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) chief executive officer Dr Paki Molumi’s response to criticism of the hospital’s maternity ward doctors and nurses in yesterday’s The National is weak.
Mothers and babies are dying and his response is “doctors and nurses are over stressed”.
“Many of the mothers coming to deliver their babies are normal deliveries, which can be assisted outside of PMGH,” Dr Molumi said.
Perhaps, the mothers want the best for their baby and themselves, a safe delivery, which is why they choose PMGH.
But, instead, they are scolded, told to wait while in excruciating pain and, in the end, either the mother or the infant, or both, die from complications.
As someone who’s experienced this attitude at the hospital, I understand that the staff are over-worked, but what is the hospital management doing about it?
What is Dr Molumi doing about the loss of lives that continues to happen?
In the story, he said that the complaints would continue and that they expected them.
Nowhere did he say what they were doing to counter these complaints.
There are no signs of a working plan to address this.
