The Public Health Directorate is the backbone of district level service delivery in Simbu Province, coordinating outreach, clinical support, and health promotion across communities. From ward-based health posts to district hospitals, it ensures that every citizen can access preventive and primary care tailored to local needs.
Through leadership in program planning and execution covering areas like immunization, nutrition, tuberculosis control, WASH, and reproductive health, the Directorate works to close gaps in service equity and health outcomes. It strengthens partnerships with local governments, community health volunteers, and national stakeholders to scale evidence based solutions.
Rooted in SiPHA’s mission, the Directorate combines data driven planning with grassroots engagement. It champions inclusive programming that recognizes gender equality, youth participation, and cultural responsiveness as vital to healthy communities. By aligning district health operations with provincial targets and national strategies, it creates resilient systems designed to respond, adapt, and improve continuously.
