Snapshots from the Field

Papua New Guinea Update

Written by Veronica Bradford on Thursday, 24 June 2010

I have just returned from Papua New Guinea where for the past three weeks I have been assisting the Marie Stopes team in Port Moresby. The reason for my visit was to assist the program with its stock procurement and logistics. This is  vital for every country program and – in the most basic of terms – it means that our supplies of condoms, implants, IUDs and vital medical equipment will get from the warehouse to our centres and our doctors in Papua New Guinea and then ultimately into the hands of the women and their families who need our help.
