Bad Road Conditions Affect Schools and Hospitals

Every year, the road in this part of the country gets washed away. In its place, mud, debris and potholes are littered. For rural far-flung health centers and aid posts, it is always a struggle getting medical supplies and transporting the sick to the general hospital in town. In January this year, Brahman Health Center had a hard time transporting medical supplies, or moving the sick and expectant mothers for proper health care at the Madang General Hospital. In this video, you will also see a tipper truck which was abandoned because it couldn't make it's way up the slippery slope.
