National Capital District, Port Moresby 19th June 2025- The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) has officially launched its website. The website will be the readily accessible digital gateway that connects the people of NCD directly to health services, information, and resources they need.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, access to timely, accurate, and relevant information is more crucial than ever, especially when it comes to health. The CEO for NCDPHA Dr Robin Oge said his primary focus and the mission of the management and staff is to deliver quality health services and improve health and well-being of every resident in the National Capital District.

Dr Oge said, “We have recognized a need to bridge the information gap between NCDPHA and the community we serve, our dedicated staff and our invaluable partners.

The Executive Officer for National Capital District Commission (NCDD) Dr Newton Albert has congratulated NCDPHA for its remarkable achievement. “NCD being the leading Province in Papua New Guinea, it has to take the lead development and services delivery and NCDPHA is leading the way by embracing ICT,” he added.

“Availability of Social Media platform has enabled the spread of misinformation on information related to health, with the availability of NCDPHA’s official website, factual information can easily be sourced from it, and this will instill confidence in them,” Dr Albert emphasized further.

The Governor Powes Parkokp has pledged its support in the future development of NCDPHA. Mr Parkop has acknowledged the NCDPHA’s management for the effort. NCDC and NCDPHA will work together to provide effective health service delivery in NCD and Motu Koitabu communities.

The vision of NCDPHAs Management and Boards is to keep the residents of NCD informed with vital information about our clinic, hospital services, public health programs, and preventative health advice readily available at their fingertips. The partners will also have access to progress and updates, key developments and ongoing initiatives.

The CEO Dr Oge has acknowledged the Department of Information Communication and Technology and their commitment to drive digital transformation across PNG. He also extends his acknowledgement to the National Department of Health and NCDC for their continued support. “The website is a dynamic tool, a living platform that will continue to evolve in the digital era that we are in,” he said.
