Delivering healthcare in Papua New Guinea is a significant challenge with around 85 percent of the population living in rural and rugged terrain with limited transport infrastructure. In East New Britain province, the World Bank is supporting the provincial health authority to strengthen its primary health care system through improved data collection and communication between frontline health workers and decision-makers. Now, health workers are starting to receive greater supervision and support, and efforts are underway to prioritize budgets and policy improvements to the areas of greatest need.
