We are now recruiting doctors and senior nurses for our 2021 health programs. Help make a difference to rural communities in PNG and improve health security.
COVID-19 UPDATE
The COVID-19 crisis has escalated in PNG. We are calling for all doctors, nurses, public health experts, and humanitarian response coordinators who might be able to offer their services in the near future to submit an Expression of Interest form.
Experience working in PNG or similar rural contexts is highly desirable, along with any experience in infection control.
You can find updates on ADI's involvement in the PNG COVID-19 response via our news page or through our social media channels.

Dr Alison Brown wrapping up her 3 month #deployment in #PNG. For 20 years ADI has been sending Australian #doctors & #nurses to the most #remote #communities to provide #clinical services on #health patrols & to work alongside local #healthworkers. With thanks to #ANCP #PNGAusPartnership #PartnershipsForRecovery, and the provincial health authorities in #NewIreland, #WestNewBritain and #WesternProvince where ADI operates.
ADI Program Manager Jack O’Shea on ABC Australia news. #PNG has done an incredible job responding to #COVID19 to date. Now, as the crisis escalates, the focus should be on preventing COVID misinformation and stigmas, promoting what will be PNG’s first adult #vaccination campaign and protecting frontline #healthworkers.
Reports show 70% of patients presenting to POM general hospital with #respiratory issues are testing positive for COVID. Figures in #rural PNG are less clear due to the logistical challenges of testing in #remote areas. #Communities must work together to stop the spread and follow guidance from health authorities.
The resilience of the PNG government, provincial health authorities, health workforce and communities should be commended. ADI are proud to have worked with these incredible people in PNG for the past 20 years - we continue to stand behind them now during this current crisis.
