TIME Travel Pacific with the aim of assisting Papua New Guinea Nationals with medical assistance is setting up its stall at Vision City Mega mall every Thursdays and Fridays to make advertisements.
Time Travel’s Admin Mrs Jenny Kilagi said Time Travel is providing medical package which comes into two categories.
The first category is for “cooperates” (business organization) and the second one is for “Walking” (customers coming in person and making an appointment).
She said so far, they have seen good number of customers coming in since they started advertising the package one month from now.
Managing Director for Time Travel Pacific Mr. Randy Castanares said the aim of the organization is to assist PNG nationals with medical assistance and medical travel at a most convenient and affordable rate.
He said they have agents in Port Moresby and Manila (Philippines) to assist those who travel under the package.
From the Travel Package the organization will meet the following;
Port Moresby to Manila and return ticket to Port Moresby
Hospitals appointment
Hotel booking/reservation
Airport pick-up upon arrival
Hotel drop-off
Medical Travel clearance assistance and
Personal guide
However, the customers will only pay for Hospital Bills and Hotel Bills.
Mr. Castanares said he started the organization in 2017 after seeing the need for Papua New Guineans who find it hard to get medication for diseases like cancer which is curable overseas.
He said it is costly and most of the people find it hard to afford it with the little income they earn.
Mr. Castanares said the organization is happy to help as it is its contributing to the nation and the people.
