Barrick (Niugini) Limited, the majority owner and operator of the
Porgera Mine in Papua New Guinea, has donated K100,000 to the 2019
PNG Medical Symposium.
“The care and expertise of the doctors, nurses
and medical technicians who staff the nation’s hospitals and
clinics are essential to the well-being of Papua New Guineans, and
it is vital that Papua New Guinea has a world-class health
framework to develop the knowledge and skills that its health
professionals need,” said Woo Lee, Director of Barrick (Niugini)
and President of Barrick (China).
Lee noted that the Porgera Mine has a
long-standing record of supporting healthcare near the Porgera Mine
in the Enga Province through funding and infrastructural
development. “In 2019 alone, our company has provided more than K2
million to the Enga Provincial Health Authority for the
refurbishment and re-opening of the Paiam Hospital in the Porgera
Valley,” he said.
“We are pleased to now extend our support to the
broader Papua New Guinea health sector through our Gold Sponsorship
of the 2019 PNG Medical Symposium, the theme of which is Health
Education. We applaud National Planning Minister Richard Maru and
President of the PNG Medical Society Professor Nakapi Tefuarani for
their efforts in hosting the 2019 PNG Medical Symposium, which we
know will provide all participants with valuable insights and ideas
to further develop health education in Papua New Guinea.”
