The University of Papua New Guinea's School of Medicine and Health Sciences has achieved a landmark milestone with the receipt of international accreditation from the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME).

The accreditation recognises that the School's MBBS program meets international standards for medical education, a significant achievement for Papua New Guinea's only medical school.
