A Catholic health official has claimed that many of the duties performed by the Vunapope Hospital staff in East New Britain were not recognised by the Department of Public Health.
Father Bill Barrow, Catholic Health Secretary for the Rabaul region, quoted figures to “show beyond any doubt that Vunapope is serving a great need in this area”.
He said Vunapope received financial assistance from the Public Health Department for only one of its four doctors and for 15 of its 30 trained nurses.
“These are figures for which we get no recognition by the Department of Public Health,” he said.
Fr Barrow added that the Vunapope Hospital and the 16 other Catholic agency medical and nursing centres throughout New Britain were working in close harmony with the Department of Public Health.
