New Theatre at Sopas District Hospital Nears Completion
SOPAS District Hospital in Wabag is set to undergo a significant transformation with the nearing completion of a new theatre. This major development, announced by Wabag Open MP and Health Minister Dr. Lino Tom, is poised to revolutionize healthcare delivery in Enga Province.
The new facility will feature a modern theatre on the ground floor, with the first floor dedicated to offices, conference rooms, and consultation clinics. Dr. Tom, a former medical
surgeon, emphasized that this project is part of a strategic initiative to decentralize healthcare services. The new Enga Referral Hospital will cater to specialized and complex cases, while district hospitals like Sopas will manage less critical cases, enhancing overall healthcare efficiency.
This development represents more than just an upgrade in infrastructure; it is a crucial step towards improving healthcare access and quality in Enga. The new theatre will greatly enhance the hospital’s capacity to perform surgeries and other critical procedures, addressing a long-standing need for advanced medical facilities in the region.
The new theatre aligns with the goals of the University of Enga’s School of Medicine and
Health Sciences, which will benefit from its proximity. The nearby medical library and
nursing complexes will provide essential resources and support to both students and
healthcare professionals, fostering a comprehensive learning environment.
The Wabag District Development Authority is committed to ensuring that Sopas District
Hospital is fully equipped with state of-the-art medical technology and staffed by skilled professionals. This commitment aims to deliver high-quality medical services to the people of Wabag District and the broader Enga Province.

medical care they need.

access to medical services from a privilege into a right. Dr. Lino Tom’s leadership highlights a deep commitment to addressing the region’s healthcare needs, reflecting an understanding of the essential role that health plays in community development.

It must be equipped with the latest medical technologies and staffed with well-trained healthcare professionals to truly make an impact on patient care. This requires ongoing investment and support from the government and healthcare leaders.
Moreover, the integration of the new theatre with the University of Enga’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences offers a unique opportunity for medical education
and innovation. This partnership can serve as a model for other regions, demonstrating
how strategic investments in healthcare infrastructure can drive advancements in education,
research, and patient care.
As the project nears completion, it is crucial to ensure that the theatre becomes more
than just a state-of-the-art facility. It should serve as a beacon of hope and progress for
