A national study to overhaul health financing for Provincial Health Authorities has begun in Papua New Guinea’s Gulf Province. This pilot program aims to improve health service delivery and increase accountability within the nation’s health sector. The reform is expected to have a widespread impact across all PHAs in the country. Details about the study were released by the Post Courier, but full access requires a subscription. The initiative represents a significant step towards strengthening PNG’s healthcare system. The study's findings will likely inform future national health policy and funding allocations. It is hoped the changes will lead to more effective and transparent use of health resources.
