A new solar power back up system, pharmaceutical cabinets, an external incinerator for hospital waste and covered walkways were also provided as part of the upgrade.

The health centre supports more than 9,000 people in 60 communities and 23 schools within the Sogeri catchment region.

The upgrades were supported by the PNG-Australia Partnership as part of a broader program of upgrades to health facilities across the Kokoda Track region through the Kokoda Initiative.
