Highland Trainee Nurses

Two native girls from the Chimbu District in the New Guinea High lands have started training as nurses at the Saiho Infant Welfare Centre in the Northern District.

They will probably go home on leave after the first year, and then return for another two years’ train ing. By that time it is hoped that other Chimbu girls will have started the course.

Eventually they will return to help in the care of mothers and children at the Chimbu Native Hospital.

Several other native infant nurses are doing courses at Port Moresby and Saiho.
