Port Moresby, National Capital District – 30 June 2025 – The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) and Business for Health Papua New Guinea (B4H) have formalized a partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening disease prevention, health promotion, and the management of tuberculosis (TB), HIV, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in workplaces and communities across the NCD.

This collaboration supports national health priorities, including the National Department of Health’s strategies to eliminate TB and HIV, expand immunization and family planning, and reduce the impact of preventable diseases while promoting workplace health and safety.

B4H Chairperson, Dr Anne Clerk, emphasized the importance of workplace engagement in public health efforts. “To truly understand and improve the public health system, we must invest in workplace training and community-based health promotion. B4H is committed to tackling behaviours that fuel TB and NCDs and advancing the vision of a TB-free PNG.”

NCDPHA CEO, Dr Robin Oge, welcomed the partnership, noting its potential to strengthen service delivery. “This collaboration will enhance our capacity to manage TB, HIV, and NCDs by leveraging the support of NGOs, private sector partners, and civil society. Both NCDPHA and B4H are united in the goal of reducing preventable disease burdens through effective, coordinated action.”
