Primary Health Care Program (PHC)
Calling all GP’s, nurses, nursing assistants, physiotherapists, midwives and primary health care workers. If you’re looking for an opportunity to help in a developing nation, then come and join us in Papua New Guinea. The PHC program runs every outreach and has an emphasis in health education, malaria treatment and prevention, and maternal health. Basic wound care and general health are constant needs and even if you have no experience in this sort of area, you’d be surprised at the extraordinary difference you can make in peoples’ lives.
The primary health care team requires a doctor/physician and at least two Registered Nurses.
