Abstract

The Independent State of Papua New Guinea is a geographically challenging country. It has a population of over 7 million (2011), which is largely rurally based (80%). Although in the early stages of a demographic and epidemiological transition, the country remains beset with morbidity and mortality challenges linked to maternal and child health and communicable disease conditions, particularly for the rural and remotely located populations. Utilizing in-country consultations and a review of the published and grey literature, this sector review aims to outline the main organizational, financing, human resources and service delivery features of the health-care system. Based upon these findings, it proposes a programme of policy and planning reforms for the sector.
