The anonymous report on Facebook made terrible accusations against the doctors of the hospital in refusing treatment, demanding money up front before treatment and not advising deaths to gain more money for days in bed. Does the family not notice that the loved one is dead?
Why was an official complaint not made? The Facebook attack seems to stink. It has all the hallmarks of a revenge attack.
The fact that the writer has not given a name really nullifies all such claims. I have had dealings with the PIH over the years with two daughters born there and recall nothing but professional support and a requirement to settle the bill after treatment.
Of course critics will claim that the need to settle later was because I was an expatriate. But I am sure that all patients are given the same professional treatment.
The anonymous Facebook author claimed that doctors were not properly qualified and rejects from other countries.
As for dead bodies in bed, the mind boggles. How would this person know? That would be very specific in-house knowledge.
AIDS Holistics has sympathy for the hate mail being directed at the doctors of PIH. The founder has suffered scurrilous defamation from Australian advisors for the last 10 years.
We have always associated such internet hate mail as coming from expatriate gay and lesbian advisors.

The public statement in The National today shows that there was detailed treatment of the boy at the hospital at least until his condition had stabilized. He was not refused treatment.
The crowded waiting room of the PIH attests to the fact that the hospital is held in high regard by crowds of Port Moresby residents.
