As we approach the festive season—a time of giving, sharing, and reflection—Nambawan Super Limited (NSL) took the opportunity to recognise the tireless efforts of frontline healthcare workers at Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH).
This week, the NSL team engaged with PMGH staff, providing on-site Member services and serving light refreshments to the dedicated doctors, nurses, technicians, and support staff who devote their lives to caring for others.
PMGH employs over a thousand Nambawan Super Members, all of whom play a vital role in ensuring the hospital operates smoothly and delivers essential medical care to thousands of Papua New Guineans each year. Many of these professionals work long hours and often have limited time to attend to their superannuation matters.
NSL Deputy Chief Executive Officer Vere Arava expressed his appreciation for the PMGH team’s commitment and welcomed the opportunity to serve them in their workplace.
“Our healthcare workers, who are our Members, give so much of themselves to care for others and often put their own needs last. Recognising this, NSL brought its services directly to their workplace, ensuring that they, too, are supported when it comes to their financial future,” Arava said.
“For many of our Members at PMGH and other hospitals, caring for others takes priority over their own needs, leaving little time to plan for life after employment. By bringing our services directly to them, we help Members update their details, check their accounts and statements, and learn more about how to make the most of their superannuation," he said.
“I would also like to thank PMGH management for their continued support and for allowing our team to meet and serve our Members. Employers play a vital role in helping their employees achieve their retirement goals, and it is always rewarding to see such partnerships in action," he added.
To date, Nambawan Super has hosted over 20 Employer and Stakeholder Engagements across the country, reaching Members in various sectors. These engagements form part of NSL’s ongoing efforts to bring services closer to Members, particularly those in essential roles who contribute daily to the nation’s wellbeing and development.
“We want our Members to enjoy a dignified and financially secure retirement after a lifetime of service to our people. Regularly updating Member details and understanding superannuation options are important steps in that journey," Arava said.
NSL also provides free Financial Literacy Training to all Members, helping them make informed financial decisions and plan for a comfortable retirement.
The two-day engagement, held on 11 to 12 November 2025, was supported by the Nambawan Savings and Loans Society (NSLS) team, who shared information on short- and medium-term savings options. Paradise Foods Limited also joined in spreading festive cheer by serving ice cream and their Smart Start biscuits to PMGH staff.
As the festive season draws near, Nambawan Super extends heartfelt gratitude to all frontline Members across the country. While their days are spent caring for others and developing the nation, NSL remains committed to supporting their future—growing their retirement savings and ensuring that after a lifetime of service, they can enjoy a secure and dignified retirement.
