Patient: Take care to live longer

PEOPLE must look after their health so they can live longer and enjoy their lives, Joe Y Sepik, of Pyapin clan, of Wapenamanda, Enga, says.
Sepik has been facing heart problems and went for a coronary by-pass in Townsville, Australia, earlier this year.
He had to undergo five by-passes operations.
“These operations have caused me to change and live healthy.”
He said it had cost his family and friends a lot.
“I like to thank my employer Newcrest Mining company, my local MP and Foreign Affairs and Immigration Rimbik Pato, Joe Pato, Solo Polye, Samson Timbi and others who have contributed in some way.
“I would like to thank Pr Albert Kiap Sopyale, who has been instrumental in supporting and arranging everything and even accompanying me all the way through the operation,” Sepik said.
 “This health problem has affected my whole life and I want to encourage the general public to control their diet, quit smoking, alcohol, eat healthy food to look after themselves,” Sepik said.  
He said for person to live a good life is to have good health and that can help a person to live longer.
