I was about to have dinner with my children last night when I saw this story on EMTV that made me want to throw up.
It was about the deteriorating state of the Port Moresby General Hospital morgue to such a state that the many bodies there are literally decomposing.
The morgue is basically a shipping container!
Relatives of the deceased are also to blame as they do not collect the dead bodies of people who die.
Television footage showed people with their hands to their noses at the morgue.
What a shame, given that the Papua New Guinea government has so much money in trust accounts, and yet cannot have a good morgue in its captal city.
My gut feeling now is that if the government does not do something drastic about our deteriorating health and education facilities this year, our social problems are going to get worse and worse.
So rich, and yet so poor!
Meantime, yuck, yuck, yuck at the Port Moresby General Hospital Morgue!
