Papua New Guinea applauds Korea Government for Partnership
PM O'Neill was in the Rigo District, Central Province on Friday to officially open the new state-of-the-art hospital. "On behalf of the people of Rigo and the government of Papua New Guinea, I would like to thank the Korea International Cooperation Agency, for giving this wonderful gift to Papua New Guinea and the people of Rigo," the Prime Minister said in Rigo.
"Thank you for being a strong development partner of Papua New Guinea and I urge the Korean Ambassador to convey our people and government's gratitude to the Republic of Korea."
"As partners we are facing challenges that confront our people in areas such as healthcare, and they are aligning development programs with the priorities of our government.
"As you are all aware, one of our government's main priorities is the development of healthcare system in the country.
"That is why this government is focusing its energy and efforts in ensuring that our health care is properly maintained, providing better health services for our people.
"This is one of the outstanding partnerships that we have developed and for that, we are very appreciative to the Republic of Korea and it's government.
"It can now serve thousand people from the Rigo District as well as nearby villages in Central Province."
The Prime Minster called on the new custodians of the hospital to properly maintain the facility. He said if the hospital is properly taken care of it will last for one hundred years, but this was in the hands of the people.
