Simbu Provincial Health Authority (SiPHA) has confirmed its full compliance with the government’s 2025 annual reporting requirements, following Prime Minister Hon. James Marape’s recent call for accountability across public sector agencies.

Responding to the Prime Minister’s ultimatum issued on July 14 and 15 regarding the submission of annual performance reports, SiPHA clarified that it is not among the agencies flagged for non-compliance.

Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kassi Ken presented the 2025 Annual Management Report on March 27, 2026, well ahead of the government deadline. The report was compiled in strict accordance with the Provincial Health Authorities Act 2007.

SiPHA has since received formal acknowledgements and commendations from both the National Department of Health and the Department of Personnel Management, confirming its compliance. The Board and Management of SiPHA have welcomed the Prime Minister’s push for transparent governance, reaffirming their commitment to financial, administrative, and clinical accountability while continuing to deliver vital healthcare services to the people of Simbu Province
