Abstract

This report presents the findings of a study that aimed to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on primary health services and public health infectious disease programs in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in study sites in Eastern Highlands, East New Britain, Madang, Morobe, Western Highlands and Western Provinces, and the National Capital District. We focused on maternal and child health as examples of primary health services, and HIV and TB programs as examples of public health infectious disease programs and examined malaria services provided through outpatient services.
