Topic: PNG, Travel info? Vaccinations? Posted: 28 February 2011 at 5:16pm |
Hi, another obscure question from me- DH is being sent to Papua New Guinea shortly for work & his work is the "couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery" type sometimes. Anyone been there recently? He's going to Lihir Island group via Port Moresby. He's got a list of vaccinations etc. We're struggling to find info on ph networks (if any) internet coverage etc. What anti-malarials are best these days? Any info appreciated, thanks, =)

check out safe travel - they have up-to-date health and safety advisories. Plus, as it's run by the government you can register to say when you're going to be where so if things turn to custard the embassy knows to come looking for you (theoretically!).
I don't know about phone networks, etc, but check out Lonely Planet's thorn tree forum, if you can't find the answer on there already, you can just ask - they're pretty friendly

No worries, have just emailed him, will PM you when he replies  (assuming it's good internet coverage lol, although he did say before he left that there is internet, but it's dialup speed!)
