YAGAUM RURAL HOSPITAL

INRASTRUCTURE RENOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMMES 2011 _______________________________________________________________________

SECTION A: SUMMARY INFORMATION

Project Title: hospital infrastructure renovation and improvement projects Project Location: Yagaum Rural Hospital, Madang Province Originating organization: Yagaum Rural Hospital, Lutheran Health Services Contact Name and Address: Mr. Daniel Gigil Marme Hospital Administrator Yagaum Rural Hospital P O Box 107, MADANG Papua New Guinea Phone: 422 2363 Fax: 422 0929 Email Address: Not Available

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Yagaum Rural Hospital was built by the Lutheran Womens Missionary of America on 22nd July 1950. The current hospital infrastructures were built at this time and have been operating for 61 year now. Therefore, the hospital is frequently experiencing operational problems with the current facilities and is costly to operate. Our goal is to improve the quality of health care services provided to the rural population and urban disadvantaged. Thus, our objective is to increase access to quality health services for the rural majority and the urban disadvantaged and hereby improve the health of rural population. The final output is to renovate and maintain the existing infrastructure as well as purchasing new essential medical equipment, water supply motors and pump, solar system for the wards and new Southern Cross for the hospital. This project is part of the ongoing hospital renovation performed in 2010.

How long do you estimate it will take to complete the project? 12 months

4. Technical Aspects:

4.1. Where alternative approaches considered to achieve the objective? Why this current approach being suggested in this project and best approach to address the problem/opportunity?

The alternative approach considered is to buy and install water tanks to all the staff houses and the wards for cooking and drinking only. However, the current approach to construct two additional 9000 litres is the best approach as it caters for all domestic needs and makes life easier for staff and patients.

5.2. How will recurrent cost such as staff cost or maintenance and repair cost be met, both during and after the project is completed.

The recurrent cost will be funded from the hospital operational maintenance and renovation budget/cost during and after the completion of the project.

5.3. What will the originating organization or local community contribute to the project?

The originating organization will contribute skilled labour (plumber) and meet other administrative cost like telephone bills and stationery while the local community will contribute unskilled labour and gravels.

5.4. Have any land owner issues been resolved? (If necessary attach land agreement).

The current hospital site is owned by the Lutheran Church when the hospital was constructed in 1950. Thus, the project will be constructed within the hospital premises/ land.

5.5.

that come out of the project?

Yagaum rural hospital and Lutheran Health Services (LHS) will be solely responsible for the infrastructure, equipment and materials that come out of the project.

6. Cross-Cutting Issues: 6.1. What positive, negative or neutral impacts will the project have on the environment? Please describe? Is an environmental assessment necessary? (Discuss with the office of Environment and Conservation). What negative impact will the project have on women? For example, how women benefits? Will any steps be taken to encourage the participation of women and men? Will the project impact on other minority groups such as ethnic or religious groups?

This project will have no negative impacts on the environment and women as it will be established within the hospital land area. Thus, it will positively improve the health of women and children admitted to the hospital wards.

6.2. How will the project impact on the spread and control of HIV/AIDS (e.g. people travelling to new areas, transportation access being created)? Is there an opportunity to include HIV/AIDS awareness in the project? (Discuss strategies with the National or Provincial HIV/AIDS coordinator). Clean water supply to the hospital also helps to improve the health of HIV/AIDS patients admitted and seeking help at the hospital.
