It is truly inspiring to see that the solar power plant at Gaubin District Hospital has already been completed by Solar Solutions PNG. This project is more than just panels and batteries — it is hope for mothers delivering at night, children needing emergency care, and health workers who serve tirelessly every day.
Reliable solar power means:
24-hour lighting in wards and labour rooms
Safe storage of vaccines and medicines
Proper use of medical equipment
Better and faster emergency response
We sincerely acknowledge that Sumkar District Development Authority (SDDA) made the first payment to support this important project. However, development must be completed with responsibility and commitment. When the second payment to Solar Solutions PNG (SSPNG) is delayed or unpaid, it affects trust, partnership, and future service delivery.
Health services are not about politics — they are about people. Gaubin serves thousands of families across Karkar Island, and power stability directly saves lives.
Let us encourage all responsible authorities to honour their financial commitments so that partnerships remain strong and development continues without interruption. When leaders fulfil their promises, communities grow stronger.
Reliable power is reliable healthcare. Gaubin deserves nothing less.
