For more than a decade, Burnet has addressed some of PNG’s critical health problems by implementing community-based programs using international development and public health principles. We have also undertaken social and clinical research, supporting the development of an improved evidence base to inform policy development. Partnering with both government and nongovernment health agencies and regional research networks, we have focused programming on major health issues including maternal, child and adolescent health; sexual and reproductive health; immunisation; vector-borne diseases such as malaria; and major public health threats such as HIV and tuberculosis.
