Pacific Angel 2015
Dr. William Pomat, head of the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research, Infection and Immunology Unit, gives military doctors and researchers from the U.S., Australia, Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea an overview of vector-borne diseases in the country. He also highlighted what the institute has accomplished over the years during Pacific Angel 15-4 at Goroka, Papua New Guinea, June 4, 2015. Mountains, jungle and large bodies of water make monitoring, treating and eradicating tropical disease difficult. Efforts undertaken during Pacific Angel help multilateral militaries in the Pacific improve and build relationships across a wide spectrum of civic operations, which bolsters each nation???s capacity to respond and support future humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
