Description

In April 2013, Australia and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding on development cooperation to tackle malaria in Timor-Leste. This project is expected to officially start in 2015. It has two main objectives: to strengthen PNG’s health system by improving PNG Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL) services and malaria diagnosis, and to strengthen PNG malaria research by assisting the PNG Institute of Medical Research (PNGIMR). Australia will provide four million Australian dollars to support this project. Joint research projects between Australian universities and PNGIMR may follow in the future. China will provide technical experts to work at PNGIMR headquarters in Goroka and CPHL at Port Moresby General Hospital. As the host country, PNG government will facilitate the operation of the project.
