Health Services at Angau Memorial Hospital 

These are few of the services provided at Angau Memorial Hospital in Lae, Morobe province.
The three priority clinical services highlighted by the key
stakeholders that should form part of the initial redevelopment
are:

1. Emergency services
2. Obstetrics and Gynaecology
3. The National Cancer service

With each priority service, there is also the other associated clinical services requirements. For Emergency Services to meet its requirements we must
have:

• The required diagnostic services of Medical Imaging and Pathology
• The procedural services of Operating Theatres and Day  Procedures
• The increased specialist patient care facilities of Critical Care including Intensive Care, High Dependency and Coronary Care

For Obstetrics and Gynaecology to meet its requirements we
must have:

• The required Birthing facilities
• The required Neonatal and Special Care Nursery areas
• The required pre and antenatal services and facilities
• The network of increased capacity for obstetric services across the province and the region

For the National Cancer Care services to meet its national
requirements we would recommend that we have an institute
that has:

• Screening centres across all provinces in PNG that provide early diagnosis
• A national Immunisation Scheme that can reduce the  incidences of particular cancers, e.g. cervical cancers
• The development of Self-Care Accommodation in association  with the National Cancer Care Institute to ensure people from rural district have accommodation while undergoing treatment. Accommodation should allow for the family/guardian/carer to stay and take care of the patients
• The Pathology and Pharmacy services required to deliver the cancer treatment
• The integrated training and further education programs and resources needed to support the cancer care services
• The Research and Clinical Trials areas for selected cancer care treatments 

For each of the priority services we also need the clinical, clinical support services and hotel services to deliver the  required services outcomes. The ability to deliver improved health services revolves around  providing the right services and thus functional areas/spaces  with the right functional adjacency.
The development of clinical clusters or precincts is key to the  delivery of modern health services, particularly as the services  become tertiary and referral services. The model of care and  operational policies recommend improved functional clustering, with the clusters/precinct divided as follows:

1. Acute Care services:
2. Acute Care
3. Sub-Acute care

• Ambulatory Care services: Polyclinic /Outpatients/Ambulatory Care services
• Day Therapy and treatment services
• Integrated NGO and FBO Services
• National Cancer Care Institute services and the Self-Care facilities
• Support services
• Hotel Services including Food Services, Stores, Domestic Services
• Pathology and Pharmacy
• Mortuary
• Accommodation services:
• Staff Accommodation
• Student or trainee accommodation
• Visiting special accommodation
