Unique Papua New Guinea
"Expect the unexpected"
PNG is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse nations in the world. There are over 800 living languages and more than 600 islands.
The majority of the population live in rural and inaccessible mountain areas and rely on agriculture as their primary means of subsistence.
Health access faces many geographic, cultural, financial and systemic challenges in rural Papua New Guinea.
