greetings to you all. it has bee quite for a while so i want to stir
up some water.

u all a aware of deteriorating law and order situation in PNG. the
recent robbery of BSP worth over 4million kina is unbelievable.
there is even a runor that some MPs are were involved in this
robbery..how true i do not know.

anyway, today all the professional bodies in PNG including NDA
release a media statement calling on the government to implement the
revised ECP as a matter of urgency. they also recommended that those
in advisory roles in various government department be made to place
active roles and step in to weed corruption in PNG. For so there has
been lip service and the time for action has arrived.

With regards to NDA leadership, I think its time for a new leader
with a new vision. I also think the PNG Medical Society needs a new
president.

now to our website, I have already approached 2 website developers
in PNG and waiting for their quote.

My vision for the website is that it will be a source of information
for visitors coming to PNG. The information will focus on health
issues such as, immunisations, malaria prophalaxis, safe drinking
water, how to reduce your risk of being mugged, safe places to visit
or stay, and also for members to post and share their memorable
trips to PNG (with pics). So i am asking all of you to give me your
input. For those who will have time, i will ask you to write short
articles to put up. there will be section for articles written by
members. will keep u all up to date.

OH, and I will be present a short paper during the Pathology meeting
during the symposium on the use of ICT for sharing information and
networking and will share the experience of PNGdoctors group as an
example. I post an abstract to you all later.

regards
