Date Time 24 hours left to multiply your impact When a child living on a remote Pacific island needs emergency surgery, the chances of them receiving appropriate treatment in time – are slim to none. In Vanuatu, for example, there are only four surgeons to support the entire country. You might remember the little boy, Peter, that needed urgent medical attention from my recent letter. Thanks to your support, Peter was fortunate to receive safe, quality surgical care from surgeons like Dr Trevor Cullwick. Trevor is a Ni-Vanuatu doctor who received assistance from RACS Trainees and Fellows to train as an orthopaedic surgeon in Australia. But across the Pacific and Timor Leste, there are gifted doctors who do not have the opportunity to become surgeons. If they did, many more children could live without life-threatening injuries or debilitating physical conditions, like Peter.
