Hospitals

Moresby, Feb. 25.

PORT MORESBY’S new base hos pital is to be built on Taurama Road, instead of on the Three- Mile hill site, as in the original plans.

The Lae Advisory Council, again urging the need for a new hospital, says that the present conditions for both patients and hospital staff are “intolerable.”

Both the Port Moresby Base Hos pital and tho much-needed Lae Hospital are rated top priority in the Health Department estimates for the 1953-54 financial year.
