Description

On July 8, 2005, Papua New Guinea Defence Force and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China signed a protocol agreement, which committed PGK 1.5 million of grant funding to the Taurama Military Hospital Upgrading Project. Then, in May 2008, the PLA of China provided an additional $400,000 grant for the Taurama Military Hospital Upgrading Project. At some point during 2008, the PLA of China also provided an additional $100,000 for the Taurama Military Hospital Upgrading Project. This project, ID#42165, captures the PGK 1.5 million grant that was provided in 2005. Project ID#42128 captures the $500,000 of total grant funding that was provided in 2008. The purpose of the project was to upgrade the Taurama military hospital in the city of Taurama. It involved the construction of five buildings, including a pathology laboratory, an x-ray building, a dental clinic, and an accident and emergency building. The project also involved minor repairs to already existing health infrastructure at the 1RPIR [1st Battalion Royal Pacific Islands Regiment] headquarters. China Jiangsu International Economic and Technical Cooperation Corporation was the contractor responsible for implementation. Construction began on June 12, 2008 and the project handover and completion ceremony was held on April 8, 2009.
