KPAC is pleased to share a significant milestone in the DFAT CLM initiative in Eastern Highlands Province. During a productive meeting with KPAC, NDoH, and NCD PHA representatives, Acting CEO Dr. Pomuso Warima granted approval in principle for the program’s implementation.
The Port Moresby team’s presentation effectively conveyed the CLM concept, leaving a strong impression on Dr. Warima. To ensure full alignment, he has requested a detailed briefing on the framework, objectives, and expected outcomes before formalizing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In the meantime, KPAC and partners have been authorized to proceed with preparatory work immediately.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all involved—your dedication and collaboration have been instrumental in reaching this milestone. Together, we are strengthening the quality of health services in EHP.
