Pacific International Hospital

Serving the greater Port Moresby community, Pacific International Hospital (PIH) stands as a pioneering Papua New Guinea (PNG) institution that has developed a continuum of patient care consistent with stringent international standards. The institution maintains a fully functional intensive-care unit and offers quality emergency treatments 24/7. Pacific International Hospital also houses the country’s first private physiotherapy and cardiology units, and established PNG’s first-ever hemodialysis and mammography units. The hospital maintains lifestyle clinics focused on specific areas of health and has leading-edge surgical capacities, including endoscopic care. In unexpected situations, multiple full-time trauma and general surgeons are available for emergency consultations and care.

Already the nation’s largest employer of physicians, nurses, and allied medical personnel, PIH is currently engaged in multi-phase efforts to expand and modernize its facility. In addition to a new main hospital and acute-care facilities, this initiative involves the development of a medical campus learning institute that will increase the overall levels of healthcare training in PNG. Pacific International Hospital maintains a strong community commitment and has led a number of coordinated campaigns, including a breast cancer awareness program that has provided more than 3,000 free mammograms.
