Health Minister Not Aware of Court Order To Pay Former Cancer Specialist

The Lae district says there is a court order directing the Health Department to pay a former Angau Cancer specialist over K250,000 in entitlements.

In parliament today, the Lae MP, Loujaya Kouza, asked why the process of paying the former specialist is taking too long.

โ€œWhy havenโ€™t we honoured the court order,” asks Kouza.

The Minister says he wasnโ€™t aware of any court orders directing the Health department to pay any Specialist.

โ€œIf there is a court order in place, I am not aware of that, I shall immediately after this I will talk to my Health Secretary,โ€ says Malabag.

There are three doctors expected to enter the country soon. The fate of cancer patients now rests on the Health Department and its bureaucracy.
