My name is Dr. James Amini, and as President of the Paediatric Society of Papua New Guinea (PSPNG) with over four decades in medicine, I welcome you to our official website.

The most profound truth I’ve learned is that our children are our future, and their health is non-negotiable. The work of PNG paediatricians is uniquely challenging—navigating vast distances, cultural needs, and resource limitations. Every member of the PSPNG is on the front line, tirelessly fighting for our children’s potential. This website is a testament to their dedication.

Our Mission: Knowledge and Empowerment

This platform serves to centralize the vital work that has often been scattered:

For Our Colleagues: It is a dedicated space to detail critical research and share best-practice clinical guidelines informing paediatric care across PNG, serving as an essential resource for our members and international partners.

For Our Parents: After 40 years, I know the parent is the most vital health worker. We commit to using this site to empower mothers, fathers, and caregivers with accessible, reliable information on everything from nutrition and vaccination to managing common childhood illnesses, all tailored to life in Papua New Guinea.

This website is a new, essential step toward a healthier, more prosperous PNG for our children. I invite you to explore the resources we’ve gathered. Together, we will ensure every child in Papua New Guinea has the chance not just to survive, but to thrive.

Lukim Yu,

Dr. James Amini President, Paediatric Society of Papua New Guinea
