6 DAYS TO GO! 📆| COUNTDOWN TO OUR 3RD NATIONAL CONFERENCE & 10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Today, we proudly feature our hardworking CCHS Lae team, especially our dedicated staff at Wauwoka Health Facility in remote Menyamya, Morobe Province.🏥

Our heart and mission have always been with the rural, remote, and marginalized communities, those who need health care the most but often face the greatest barriers in accessing it.

Through our integrated outreach programs in Lae, our dedicated teams go beyond the health facility to reach the unreachable, find those who are seriously ill and unable to travel, and bring care, comfort, and hope directly to their doorsteps. 🩺🔬💉💊

Because for us, health care is not just about waiting for people to come to us; it is about going out to find those who need us most. 💙

To our CCHS Lae team and our Wauwoka frontline heroes, thank you for keeping the mission alive!

Today, we proudly feature St. Mary’s Vunapope District Hospital. 🏥

Established in 1930, St. Mary’s Vunapope Hospital has served generations of families in East New Britain and the surrounding New Guinea Islands communities, carrying forward a proud legacy of Catholic health care.

From its missionary beginnings to its continued growth in modern health services, the hospital remains a beacon of hope, compassion, and healing. Its official recognition as a District Hospital in 2025 marks another significant milestone in its remarkable journey.

As we count down to our 3rd National Conference and 10th Anniversary Celebration as a separate entity, we honor the dedicated people and generations of service that have shaped our Catholic health care mission. 💙

Nearly a century of healing hearts, serving communities, and bringing hope to those in need!

⏳ 6 DAYS TO GO! Let us celebrate our history, honour our people, and look forward to a brighter future together!

Thank you, MAF, for your service also to the remotest parts of this country.

MISSION Aviation Fellowship (MAF) celebrated its 75th anniversary on Saturday, Oct 3.

MAF has been the wings to the unreached, delivering help, hope and healing to isolated communities since 1951.

Remote communities where there is no road connectivity, and in areas where a basic road ends, MAF continues to be the lifeline of hope to the 80 per cent rural populace who cannot reach government services like healthcare and schools.

🇵🇬 10 DAYS TO GO! | 3rd National Conference & 10th Anniversary Celebration 🎉

A Journey of Commitment, Courage and Service! 💙

As we count down to our 3rd National Conference and 10th Anniversary, we reflect on the remarkable journeys and sacrifices that have shaped our organisation.

One unforgettable journey was the National Office foot patrol to Kanabea Health Centre, when there was no road access. Dr. Athanasius Kari and Nathan Maru of National CCHS demonstrated extraordinary dedication by walking for three days before finally reaching Kanabea.

Their journey did not end there. From Kanabea, they continued on to Lae before making their way back to Port Moresby — a true testament to their resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to serving communities, even in the most challenging conditions.

This is more than just a story of walking for three days. It is a story of sacrifice, teamwork, and going the extra mile to reach the people who need us most. It reminds us of the spirit, vision, and dedication that continue to drive our organisation forward.

As we prepare to celebrate 10 years of service and commitment, we honour the people, experiences, and milestones that have brought us this far.

⏳ Only 10 days to go! Let us celebrate our journey, honour our history, and look forward to an even brighter future for rural health services in PNG.

THE Catholic Health Service (CHS) of Wabag Diocese celebrated 10 years of providing healthcare in the province on Wednesday, marking a decade as an independent entity.

CHS in the country began operating independently in October 2016 after separating from Church Health Services PNG.

Prior to this, all church-run health services were administered nationally under PNG Church Health Services.

10 YEARS TODAY

The story of Catholic Church Health Services Inc. (CCHS) is a story of faith, service, courage and collaboration.

In 2014, the Catholic Bishops Conference resolved to bring Catholic health and HIV programs together under one coordinating body. This vision led to the establishment of the CCHS Secretariat in 2016.

On 7 December 2015, CCHS was officially registered with the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA), and in 2016, it formally separated from the Churches Medical Council to begin its journey as a distinct Catholic health organisation.

A major milestone came on 6 October 2016, when CCHS signed a National Health Service Level Agreement with the National Department of Health. On the same historic day, Sr. Jadwiga Faliszek, SSpS, was appointed as the first National Health Secretary of CCHS.

Under her leadership, CCHS has continued to grow, bringing together Catholic health workers, facilities, Church leadership and partners with one shared mission—to serve, care and bring hope and healing to the people of Papua New Guinea.

Today, as we celebrate 10 years as a separate entity, we honour all those who have contributed to this journey and celebrate how far CCHS has come.

🙏 10 Years of Faith • Service • Compassion • Partnership • Excellence

🎉 Happy 10th Anniversary, CCHS Inc.! 🇵🇬❤️
