MRRN Successfully Airlifts Mother and Twin Babies to Modilon General Hospital
Madang, Papua New Guinea – 22 January 2026 – A mother and her twin babies from Sanavit Village, Ward 18, were successfully airlifted to Modilon General Hospital at approximately 11:20 am following a maternal and neonatal emergency. The patients are currently in stable condition and receiving appropriate medical care.
The emergency medical evacuation was coordinated by the Madang Rapid Response Network (MRRN) under the leadership of Founder and Director John Newtown Ariku and Director Daniel Martin. Operational support was provided by Public Relations Officer Stanley Philipae, MEDEVAC Officer Leslie Wali, and Operations Coordinator Tony Dibul.
Medical reception and hospital coordination were facilitated by Mr Johnmark Jeremiah, Executive Manager of Modilon General Hospital, ensuring the patients were promptly received and attended to upon arrival.
The operation was made possible through the collaborative support of Hon. Dul Bal, President of Ambenob LLG, Heli-Niugini Ltd, Madang Provincial Health Authority (MaPHA), local community members, and all MRRN+ members and administrative controllers who contributed to the successful coordination and ex*****on of the mission.
This operation marks MRRN’s fourth medical evacuation, with one conducted in 2025 and two earlier in 2026. These missions reflect MRRN’s continued commitment to providing emergency response services across Madang Province, particularly in hard-to-reach and remote communities. Previous operations have included maternal and neonatal evacuations, road traffic accident responses, and disaster-related interventions during floods and landslides.

MRRN will continue to monitor the patients’ progress and provide updates as appropriate.
