Panguma Hospital was built by National Diamond Mining Company (NDMC) and opened in 1965 under the auspices of the Catholic Mission and administered by the Holy Rosary Sisters until 1986. The Holy Rosary Sisters withdrew and the hospital was closed for four months. The full proprietorship was offered to the Catholic Mission by the Paramount Chief and his authorities. The hospital re-opened in September, 1986, managed by the local staff.
