The Metoreia Urban Health Centre located at the Hanuabada village in the National Capital District (NCD), had a quiet and calm start to the New Year.
Acting Manager Health Extension Officer Ms. Regina Wuri, reported that the health Centre only received two admissions on New Year’s morning where one safely delivered her baby while the other was referred to the Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH).
“Only one baby was delivered by the mid-wife on duty during the early hours of New Year, but we also had an emergency referral to the Port Moresby General Hospital,” said Ms. Wuri.
She said the second mother was experiencing complications where the baby was experiencing fatal distress and was referred to the PMGH Labor Ward.
She explained that they only operate twenty-four-seven for the labor ward and not the out-patient, hence they had no reports of emergency cases.
