ICTSI South Pacific continues fight against COVID-19 

With the exponential surge of COVID-19 cases in Papua New Guinea over the last few weeks, South Pacific International Container Terminal (SPICT) in Lae and Motukea International Container Terminal (MIT) in Port Moresby continue to provide hygiene kits to security guards, employees, and their nominated dependents.  
 
More than 600 home care kits have been distributed, with each pack containing face masks, hygiene soaps, hand sanitizers, and leaflets about good hygiene practices and the current restrictions in PNG.  
 
Last year, ICTSI South Pacific donated medical equipment, COVID test kits, personal protective equipment, and medical supplies to hospitals in host communities. The fight against the pandemic, however, requires extensive effort – something that ICTSI South Pacific is willing to make. 
 
With COVID vaccines finally arriving in PNG, the Company is preparing a massive awareness campaign to provide employees with vaccine information and prepare them for the upcoming vaccination drives. The information campaign also includes discussions with stakeholder communities, which will be done with the help of doctors who will answer questions that may be raised.
