Medical Research in PNG: Challenges & Opportunities

I am researching for a presentation I plan to give at the Menzies Research Institute, University of Tasmania in June and from my discussions with my peers and some seniors clinicians in PNG, I am getting the impression that lack of training in research techniques and methods is a major challenge for PNG medical researchers.

Another theme coming through is PNG doctors are overwhelmed with clinical patient care that time to think and plan research is lacking among many PNG clinicians.

Most PNG clinical doctors think PNGIMR should lead the way to promoting clinical medical research among PNG doctors. Promoting and making accessibility to PNGIMR’s various resources should also be easier for clinical researchers.

UPNG Medical School is another institution that can lead medical research.

Despite the many challenges, PNG is a gold mine for medical researchers and many young researchers can make a name for themselves in their field of interests as data is lacking in many areas, particularly tropical diseases. There is also a lot of opportunity for operational research among our many busy PNG  clinical doctors as well.

  9. Hello, I do believe your blog could possibly be
    having web browser compatibility issues. Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks
    fine but when opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping
    issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Besides that, fantastic blog!

  10. It is a great time to be spontaneous and maybe even a little silly.
    The advantage of an experienced photographer is
    that they are proven. * Arrive early to photograph things
    like the empty venue or the flowers arriving etc.

    Sexy lingerie when sold at wholesale rates is a very lucrative
    offer for any consumer. Whether you are photographing
    a wedding or shooting for a magazine, you will have much better
    results photographing the real model instead of trying to hide her or cover her up.
    Try a babydoll with a cut-away front in a misty blue color.
