“The company formed teams of three to visit the four regions of Papua New Guinea and delivered specific medical equipment received from the Departement of Health,” he said.

“The team that visited West New Britain comprised of two biomedical engineers, Venkatesan Moorthy, biomedical technician Marphy Malaga and myself.”

Prasad said the medical equipment which Green TeleMed was delivering to the provinces included operating lamps, patient monitors/defibrillators, electro surgical units, operating tables, ventilators, pump syringes, oximeters, warmer solutions, breast pumps, foetoscopes, electrical bench sterilisers and phototherapy lamps.

“In Kimbe hospital, these equipment were delivered specifically to the operating theatre, the nursery wards, maternity wards and the medical wards along with training conducted by the team to the hospital staff on how to use the equipment,” he said. 

Prasad said the  three officers delivered equipment to all New Guinea Islands region except for Manus and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville which they would during their next visit.
