JAYAPURA – People who live in the border area of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) are expected to gain wider access to health services through cross-country cooperation established by the Papua Provincial Government with a number of health institutions in Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cooperation was realized through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between Dian Harapan Hospital and Provita Hospital in Jayapura with West Sepik Provincial Health Authority (WSPHA) and the National Department of Health (NDoH) Papua New Guinea. The deal took place in Jayapura City on Thursday (11\/12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Deputy Governor of Papua, Aryoko Rumaropen, said this collaboration is a step to answer the challenges of health services in the border area, especially related to the limitations of medical facilities and specialized health personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, geographical conditions and limitations of health services in a number of regions make the community need cross-country support and coordination in order to obtain medical treatment as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the agreement, both parties are expected to strengthen coordination in patient referral services, specialist medical services, diagnostic examinations, to treatments that are not yet available in the patient’s area of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This cooperation is expected to provide more targeted, coordinated, timely, and accountable access to health services for people who need medical treatment. With cross-country coordination, health service needs in the border area can be handled better,” said Aryoko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained, people who live in the border area of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea have social relationships, family, and geographical closeness that have been established for a long time. Therefore, cooperation in the health sector becomes a form of mutual concern to fulfill the basic needs of the people of both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Papua Provincial Government hopes that the agreement will not only strengthen the institutional relationship between health facilities in the two countries, but also provide real benefits for the community, especially those who need advanced medical services and are not yet available in their area of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this collaboration, health services in the border area are expected to be more integrated so that the people of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea have a greater opportunity to obtain medical treatment that suits their needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
