![]() Port Moresby General Hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Paki Molumi says that there is a training plan for nurses in specialised areas as PMGH moves towards becoming a specialist hospital. In his speech during the commemoration of the International Day of Nurses, Dr Molumi alluded to the fact that the nursing division makes up fifty per cent of the workforce in the hospital with contributions towards patient care and that nurses need to be well-resourced so that they achieve outcomes. “As we move towards becoming a specialist hospital, we have to retrain our manpower so that we achieve those objectives. A skilled manpower, a skilled human resource will deliver the outcomes so you may have seen, we have a very big training plan for nursing into specialised areas,” he stated. According to Dr Molumi, few nurses have participated in the training program in Australia and that there are more programs that will come. “We are working on curriculums with the university so that you have a nursing career into those specialised areas. And I want the nursing division to support in the development of the human resource especially in the specialised manpower for this hospital as well for the country.” He encouraged the nurses to participate in the Continuous Medical Education (CME) which was started through the office of the Director Nursing in 2022 as PMGH will continue to support the program.
“We will continue to support this year so that we continue to improve or implement in the Continuous Medical Education. We encourage you to do your research and participate in the research. We have put some budget aside in 2023 for research so that we support you to do research because research will produce the outcomes.” Dr Molumi also added that through the infection control, some research has been done which shows the level of hospital acquired infections and through this research, the nursing division can take an active role in the hospital. Marking the theme of the day ‘Our Nurses. Our Future,’ Dr Molumi said it was important and looked forward to working with the nursing division throughout the year. The International Day of Nurses is a global event held annually on May 12 to mark the contributions that nurses make to society. Also read Comments are closed.
