<span style="font-size:12px"><em>Online event - Thursday 1 April at 12.00pm (PNG/QLD) 1.00pm (AEDT)</em><br>
<br>
With a priority vaccination program underway, Papua New Guinea is striving to get control of a mushrooming outbreak of Covid-19. The virus is putting immense strain on the country’s health system, with hospitals and facilities struggling to cope.<br>
<br>
PNG Health Minister <strong>Hon. Jelta Wong</strong> has been a key figure in the country’s response. Mr Wong was first appointed Minister for Health in 2019, and after a reshuffle in late 2020 was reappointed to the key post. Mr Wong has also served in the
portfolios of Police and Civil Aviation after being elected to the East New Britain seat of Gazelle Open in 2017.<br>
