History
The Kokoda Memorial Hospital was built in 1995 in a partnership between then-prime ministers
For the 75th anniversary of the Campaign in 2005, volunteers used donated materials to build seven staff houses and one double classroom each for Kokoda Elementary School and the Kokoda Technical and Skills College. The Elementary School students had been attending classes in old hospital buildings since their establishment in 1998.
Rotary Australia volunteers visit Kokoda annually to help update and refurbish facilities and to teach residents about family planning and using computers.[1][8]
