| Papua Province | Info on hospitals and car hire. Posted: Tue December 19, 2006 12:00 AM UTC
I'm looking for information on hospitals and medical care in Irian Jaya/West Papua. Any info about any medical care facilities available in the region would be of help.
Also, any info on the availability of car hire in this region would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I was in Papua in ´99 and there was no chance of hiring a car to drive yourself. there are very few roads anyway! If you are alone you can bargain and ojek...any guy with a motorbike will take you where you want to go...excursion, whatever. You will be expected to pay his cigarretes and food if it´s a day excursion.... If not you rent a minibus, motorboat or whatever. Papua is the end of the world, and very expensive if compared to the rest of Indo...everything has to be specially imported.
Hospitals outside Jayapura will be very poor. Missionaries clinics etc. probably. But I´m going back this September, so.....If you like off the beaten track....
