We are pleased to announce the appointment of Sharon Pondros as ADI's new Country Manager – PNG.

For over three years, Sharon has been a driving force in our GEDSI and Gender Based Violence prevention work, guiding key initiatives across rural and remote Papua New Guinea.
Sharon brings years of experience in program design and program management, as well as leading teams of technical staff. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and a Master of Leadership in Development.

Her deep personal commitment to this work is shaped by her pride as a Papua New Guinean and her genuine dedication to serving her own people and ensuring essential health services reach the communities that need them most.

As ADI continues its mission to work with PHA’s to solve the challenges of health services access across rural and remote PNG, we look forward to the leadership Sharon will bring to the organisation.

Congratulations, Sharon!

Family planning services in Gulf Province are improving.

In just six months, 22 health workers were trained, commodity supplies were restored, and Couple Years Protection per 1,000 increased from 106 to 170.

Progress made. Momentum built. More to come.

Thank you to Santos Foundation and the Gulf Provincial Health Authority for making this work possible.

Today we join the global community in raising awareness about viral hepatitis and the importance of prevention.
Through our immunisation programs, our healthcare workers provide infants with routine vaccinations, including the hepatitis B vaccine, to help protect them from serious liver disease.

We also support communities through health education and improved access to healthcare. Together, we can help prevent hepatitis and build healthier communities.

"Reaching the unreached" is more than just a phrase: it is the reality of delivering essential healthcare services to rural and remote communities across Papua New Guinea. During our recent outreach patrol, ADI volunteer healthcare workers carried vaccines across the Ok Tedi River to reach children in isolated communities.
Pictured is a mother and her child crossing the river in a makeshift canoe to access life-saving immunisation services.

With immunisation coverage remaining low, healthcare workers often travel door-to-door, crossing rivers and navigating rugged terrain to vaccinate children under five.

This patrol was delivered in partnership with the Western Provincial Health Authority (WPHA), Catholic Church Health Services (CCHS), World Vision, ADI, and the North Fly District Office (OPD).

We are pleased to announce that ADI has officially signed an MOU with the PNG National Department of Health (NDOH), a meaningful milestone for ADI and Papua New Guinea's health system.

This is more than a document. It's recognition; by the PNG Government, of over two decades of ADI's work reaching some of the most remote communities in the country.
The signing was attended by Mr. Pascoe Kase, Secretary for Health; Mr. Kapilin Ekeram, Technical Advisor, Partnership Unit; Mr. Ronnie Boli, Manager, Partnership Coordination & Aid Management Branch; and Tracey Tatnell, ADI Chief Executive Officer.

Secretary Kase's words said it best:
"We commend the work ADI has accomplished in Papua New Guinea over the past 20 years and look forward to continuing this partnership into the future."

For ADI, this MOU formalises what has always been our focus — working alongside PNG's national health system, not around it, to deliver sustainable, community-based healthcare where it's needed most.
We're proud of what this partnership represents. And we're energised by what comes next.

Here's a quick look at some of the activities from last week.

To mark World Environment Day, the ADI New Ireland team partnered with students from Namatanai Secondary School (NSS) to host a cleanathon.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative, students came together at the main sporting field and worked collectively to gather rubbish along the route leading to the beachfront, demonstrating their commitment to protecting the local environment and keeping their community clean.

We commend the students and staff of Namatanai Secondary School for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to keeping their community clean.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the local business houses in Namatanai for providing refreshments, and to the Namatanai LLG for their assistance with transportation. Your support helped make the event a success.

This month, we recognise our dedicated volunteer doctors.

Meet Dr Liam Byrne and Dr Hayley Kelly, who are currently serving communities across the North Fly District of Western Province.

Through their commitment and service, they are helping improve access to essential healthcare for people living in remote areas by supporting healthcare delivery and outreach across local communities.

Their dedication continues to strengthen support for local health workers and make a meaningful impact on community health outcomes. We thank Dr. Byrne and Dr. Kelly for their service and commitment.

ADI wishes all mothers throughout Papua New Guinea a very Happy Mother’s Day.

Last week, we had the privilege of being hosted by the NBC Current Affairs team for an insightful interview, highlighting the work of Australian Doctors International (ADI). During the segment, our CEO, Tracey Tatnell, reflected on ADI’s 25+ years of service in Papua New Guinea and the organisation’s future direction.

When asked about a memorable highlight, Tracey shared a powerful story that continues to resonate with her. A Community Health Worker (CHW), who attended an Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EMNC) training delivered by ADI, was later faced with a critical situation. A week after the training, a mother experiencing complications during childbirth was brought to the same facility. Using the skills gained, the CHW was able to safely deliver the baby, with both mother and child in stable condition. The health worker shared that without the EMNC training, she would not have been able to respond effectively in that emergency.

Tracey also acknowledged the dedication of ADI’s staff and volunteers, who continue to travel throughout Papua New Guinea to support communities in rural and remote areas.

Through its ongoing commitment to training, partnership, and service delivery, ADI continues to strengthen local healthcare systems and provide life-saving medical assistance to those who need it most.
