A medical evacuation request was received from a council following a village assessment in Kesengen Village yesterday at Nawaeb District of Morobe Province.

The patient developed lower back and chest pain two weeks prior, with the pain becoming increasingly severe. That caused shortness of breath which might lead to threat to the patient's pregnancy.

The patient was carried down from Suat Village to Kesengen Village due to the seriousness of her condition and the remoteness of her location.

As we approach the end of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt Christmas greetings to you all.

Christmas is a time of reflection, gratitude, and compassion. It reminds us of the importance of humanity, unity, and service to others, the values that are deeply embedded in the work we do at Manolos Aviation and MAMA Foundation.

This year was challenging, but my team has showed resilience, and remarkable teamwork. I am immensely proud of our dedicated staff, partners, and supporters who continue to go above and beyond to ensure that critical medical evacuations and humanitarian flights reach those who need them most. Together, we have made a real difference in saving lives and bringing hope to families during their most difficult moments.

To our partners, stakeholders, and the communities we serve; thank you for your trust, cooperation, and unwavering support throughout the year. Your belief in our mission strengthens us to continue serving with excellence and compassion.

As we celebrate this festive season, may your homes be filled with peace, joy, and love. I wish you and your families a blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with good health, renewed hope, and continued success.

Warm Christmas wishes to you all from my tribe here at Manolos Aviation and MAMA Foundation!

Patrick Basa is the first district member to make a donation on behalf of Kabwum District, contributing K100,000 to the MAMA Foundation Clinic infrastructure in support of its lifesaving medical evacuation work across not just Morobe Districts, but Papua New Guinea.

The district donation marks a significant show of leadership and commitment to healthcare support for people in remote and underserved communities, where access to urgent medical services remains a challenge.

The Foundation acknowledged Mr Basa as the first donor representing Kabwum District, describing the contribution as a powerful statement of unity, compassion, and responsibility toward improving healthcare access for all Papua New Guineans.

CONJOINED TWIN TOM PASSES AWAY AFTER EMERGENCY SEPARATION IN SYDNEY; SAWONG SURVIVES | 8 December 2025 🕊️✝️

After our conjoined twins Tom and Sawong were transfered from Port Moresby Paradise Private Hospital to the Sydney Children Hospital, further investigations, which could not be conducted in PNG, were conducted in Sydney on the conjoined twins, and it was confirmed that Tom had little chance of suvival after separation.

Yesterday, Tom and Sawong went into emergency separation at the Sydney Childrens Hospital.

Into the operating theatre went one body with 2 souls

After 7 hrs of procedures, we had 2 bodies and 2 souls.

Sadly, we are confirming that we lost one of the 2 bodies, the body of Tom, but happy to report that we still have 2 souls and Sawong has survived the separation.

Please keep praying.
