Abstract
The "perfect storm" that health officials had been dreading arrived belatedly in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in September 2021. By the end of October, mass burials of hundreds of bodies were being planned in Port Moresby, PNG's capital and largest city. Morgues across the country were filled beyond capacity. Hospitals had run out of oxygen and other supplies. And as more and more health workers tested positive for Covid-19, health services were being scaled back to cope with the pandemic.
