Travel Health Website For Visitors to Papua New Guinea

Finally after nearly 10 years of blogging I have decided to go pro!

With my interest in travel medicine and occupational health I have a new website now: www.pngtravelhealth.com

There are many website providing travel health advice but I want to focus on PNG and places unique to PNG where frequently visited by visitors.

I also think Papua New Guineans going backĀ  home to their villages for holidays do need travel health advice and a good travel medical kit. These are some services offered on Travel Health PNG website. When was the last time you visited your village and had a fever one week after arrival? Some of my patients ask for a small medicine kit to take with them when going on holidays. So there is a need there.

I have also been receiving requests for doing medical electives in PNG by overseas medical students. And after discussing with the CEO of Popondetta General Hospital who is willing to host elective students, Travel Health PNG will also be coordinating medical elective for overseas medical students.

    Are there many poisonous snakes and insects in Papua?

    • rodney itaki says:

      There certainly are venous snakes, the 2 notorious ones are the Papuan Taipan and the death adder. With the regards to venous spiders, there have not been any report case or any venous species identified. All the same, dont get bitten by a spider or a snake!

    I’ve read that there is a population of Acanthophis praelongus in Northern Australia. And now I will learn that Death Adders dwell in Papua as well. Thank you!
