Are common prescription medications available in Papua New Guinea?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Papua New Guinea if common prescription medications are available in Papua New Guinea, they wrote...

"Yes, common prescription medications are available in Papua New Guinea. Most medications are imported from overseas, and are available through pharmacies and hospitals. However, due to the limited availability of certain medications, some may not be available in the country. Additionally, the cost of medications can be expensive, so it is important to check with a doctor or pharmacist before purchasing any medications," explained one expat living in Papua New Guinea.
