By the end of the week, the 31 volunteers will be prepared to take on roles in wellness hubs, church teams and zoned community outreach, carrying practical health education and biometric screening directly into the communities of East Sepik Province, with a clear focus on prevention rather than cure.

With Pastor Monape’s official opening setting the tone for the week, the program is now underway in full, with graduation and the presentation of certificates to follow at the close of the training.

This week, the Sepik SDA Health Services hosted a successful Health & Wellness Training at the mission headquarters in Wewak Hill!

Participants, including health workers and community members, joined forces to learn how to combat the rise of lifestyle diseases in Papua New Guinea. 🇵🇬

Led by the Health Promotion Officer, Mr. Ibbis Malaitom, and the Wellness Clinic sister-in-charge, Mrs. Patricia Malaitom, the program provided valuable training on:

Selecting healthy, natural, and organic foods

Food preparation techniques for nutritious meals

This training equips participants with the knowledge and skills to make positive changes in their own lives and promote a culture of health within their communities.
