As the mediated President of the Medical Society of Papua New Guinea, I would like to
welcome you to the official website for the Medical Society of Papua New Guinea (MSPNG). The
website serves many purposes and most importantly to keep our life members and members
informed and media update.
The current Executives of the MSPNG have usually look for ways to increase its channel of
communication between life members, members, the community and the society at large that
we serve. With this site we will be able to inform the general public what is happening within
the Medical community including the latest news on medical updates in our society, the region
and the world.
The Medical Society of Papua New Guinea is a professional medical society that gives
professional advices to the Ministry for Health, the Secretary for Health, the government of the
day and any other organizations on health issues of importance particularly to Papua New
Guinea (PNG).
The Society is a non-governmental, non-profit making organisation and dependent on
members’ subscriptions and donations. Currently members’ subscriptions provide more than
60% of funds for the running of the Society and the organization of the annual scientific
meeting
called the MSPNG Annual Medical Symposium.
The MSPNG convenes and conduct an Annual Medical Symposium, a forum where all different
medical professionals cadres comes together to present their latest research findings to support
policies, treatment or prevention usually on a particular theme. The forum is also where all the
standard treatment for the different disease in this country are reviewed and revised according
to the new research findings. However, last year 2020 and this year 2021 the Annual Medical
Symposium was cancelled due to Covid 19 pandemic, but we hope to host the annual medical
symposium next year in September 2022.
