Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) will host its inaugural free basic medical checks for media personnel tomorrow, in commemoration of World Press Freedom Day, observed annually on 3 May.
The event will bring together journalists, media workers, healthcare staff, and representatives from the business community to celebrate press freedom and recognize the vital role the media plays in supporting the development of PMGH and Papua New Guinea.
During a recent visit to the hospital, Billy Paranos, Branch Manager of Ailan West Industries, announced the company’s donation of water supplies and fruit drinks for the event. He further confirmed that the company will return later this week to provide additional donations to the Children’s Ward and other hospital wards.
“We are planning to attend the main event on May 29,” Mr. Paranos said. “We will come back to present our products and also provide sponsorship support during the event.”
Mr. Paranos emphasized that Ailan West Industries remains committed to supporting community and healthcare initiatives.
The event is expected to strengthen cooperation between the hospital, the media, and the business community, while also encouraging regular health checks among media personnel.
