Dr. Martin Sa'avu
Director Curative Health Services (DCHS)
The office of the Director Curative Health would sincerely would like to thank everyone within SHPHA including the executive management and both clinical and cooperate service staff for their invaluable contribution annually towards making Mendi Provincial Hospital and rural health services as to what it is today.
During the course of the year, the institution was affected by many internal and external problems namely; drug and consumable shortage coupled with poor logistic support throughout the course of the year, funding constraints and political unrest in SHP which took a toll. Despite the problems encountered in 2017, the management and staff stood firm to see that basic services continued for the people of Southern Highlands Province for those who sought treatment at Mendi Provincial Hospital, Ialibu and Pimaga hospitals including L4-1 facilities in the province. The PHA in its capacity and under the sure leadership of the CEO Dr. Joseph Birisi was more than confident and continued to ensure clinical services were not completely disrupted until the year ended.
Hence, “The progress of any institution lies in the hands of each and every one of the employees of that institution”. Good things may not come easily and be achieved over night, but positive progress can be made through commitment and determination through team work.
God bless
