Department of Health
Acknowledgment
The National Department of Health owes its thanks to many individuals and organizations for their hard work toward the creation of this National Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy. Only through the collaborative efforts of these partners could a document such as this have come to fruition. This policy will provide clarity to the health sector and its partners on sexual and reproductive health information, services programs and activities in PNG. I would like to acknowledge the NDoH Health Improvement Branch staff, National Reproductive Health Technical Advisory Committee for their commitment and contributions throughout the process of thinking through and writing this document. AusAID, UNFPA, UNICEF and WHO provided much valuable technical assistance and guidance in the preparation of this document. The staff of the National Department of Health and the national specialists and medical and nursing officers involved in sexual and reproductive health services in government, church and NGO sectors deserve our gratitude for their invaluable insights and contributions. I extend my appreciation also to the former secretary, Dr Clement Malau and former minister, Hon. Sasa Zibe for their leadership and support in the initial formulation of the policy. The Policy is supported by the work of the Ministerial Taskforce on Maternal Health which recognizes the pivotal role a well implemented sexual and reproductive health policy will play in ensuring that proper standards and quality service are available for women, men, youth and adolescents. Finally, I look forward to the implementation of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy in Papua New Guinea through the health sector of PNG for the benefit of our people, the majority of whom live in the rural areas.
