DOCTORS’ CLIMB FOR BREAST CANCER

-


Mt. Wilhelm May 2015

Hospital Poroman Foundation in partnership with four (4) doctors from Paradise Private Hospital have teamed up to conquer Mt. Wilhelm on a climb for Breast Cancer to raise much needed funds to assist Paradise Private Hospital to purchase a mammogram.
This partnership aims to ultimately purchase this machine to enable a subsidized medical cost to our women in Papua New Guinea.
A mammogram costs about K300, 000. 00 and there is only about 3 mammograms in the country: 1 at Pacific International Hospital, the other one at the POM General Hospital and the third one in a private clinic in Madang. The one in Madang was donated through some overseas aid and is not in use because of lack of technical expertise.
The three mammograms around the country can barely support the female population in Papua New Guinea.
Breast Cancer is increasingly becoming one of the top killers of our women besides other killers and a mammogram will help our women who come for breast screening because only through early detection lives will be saved.
The point of difference about this initiative is that the out of the busy schedule, the doctors and their friends are climbing with an aim to raise funds for a very important cause: saving lives. 
We hereby, seek sponsorship for each of the doctors and their friends and each one will be representing the sponsors with any marketing strategies between now and till the summit.
Above From Left to right: Dr Peter Kaminiel, Dr Mahlon C Paiva, Dr Haydee Paiva, Dr Arnold Waine & Janet Sios-the four (4) doctors and their friends that are taking part in the climb for Breast Cancer.
We would be grateful for your kind consideration and favorable response to this important cause.

Below is the account details if you are interested to sponsor any of the four doctor or their friends.

Port Moresby, November 9, 2010 — Rhythm Road the Johnny Rogers Band arrived in Port Moresby November 6 to the enjoyment of local jazz lovers. Following in the footsteps of such musical legends as Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillepsie, and Duke Ellington, it is one of 10 American quartets specializing in jazz, hip-hop, blues and bluegrass touring internationally. The U.S. State Department sponsored the visit. The Johnny Rogers Band — John Rogers, Brian Glassman, Joseph Ravo, Daniel Mallon and manager Shana Bromberg — kicked off its five-day tour by rocking the socks of an A List gathering of diplomats, business executives, PNG government officials and members of the Port Moresby artistic and cultural community at the residence of U.S. Ambassador Teddy Taylor and wife Antoinette Corbin-Taylor November 7. Despite murky skies, no rain materialized. A power cut during its rendition of Mustang Sally had the crowd cheering for more. The Band also set up a number of music workshops to teach u...

Smithsonian Team Visits PNG

-
By Carolyn Ive January 26, 2011, Port Moresby -- A team from the Smithsonian Natural History Museum visited Papua New Guinea on a fact-finding mission January 13-22. According to the director of the museum, Christian Samper, the purpose of the trip was to highlight the work of the Smithsonian, while offering assistance to PNG’s National Museum. Possible areas of cooperation include documenting and sustaining endangered languages and knowledge. “When a language disappears, knowledge crucial to understanding, humanity and the natural world is lost forever,” said Joshua Bell, curator for Globalization. Bell began his anthropological research in the Purari Delta in 2000. “Languages are disappearing fast, and with it goes the knowledge,” said Bell. “This issue has become a major area of research,” he said. The team also travelled to Goroka and Madang, meeting with Kristofer Helgen, mammal curator at the Papua New Guinea Institute for Biological Research, and the Binatang Research Cent...
