Kapuna Hospital Inauguration, Jan. 28th '22

In 2021, Kapuna had a complete upgrade to its health facilities, a collaborative partnership project between a number of key stakeholders including TotalEnergies (TE). TE provided the logistics support in transporting construction materials to project site. Fully powered by solar.

The Kapuna rural hospital undertook a major renovation that lasted about two years. The new hospital was inaugurated on Friday 28th January 2022. The event was officiated and witnessed by the Prime Minister Honorable James Marape along with dignitaries from the Gulf Province, representatives from the Australia High Commission and Incentive Fund and various stakeholders. TotalEnergies EPPNG, as a main contributor to the project, was also invited to the event.
TotalEnergies EP PNG was happy to be an active partner to the project by assisting with the expertise and documentation in the proposal submission along with logistics support transporting all project related building materials free of cost from Port Moresby to Kapuna. TotalEnergies EP PNG also provided seats on the charter flight of its volunteer workforce between Port Moresby and Purari.
The success of the Kapuna hospital maintenance and upgrade illustrates a shining example of Stakeholder Collaboration Partnership approach.
This project is a good example of the partnership approach adopted by TotalEnergies for its community development projects.
