    Weʼve raised £160 to buy some essential medical equipment to take out to the healthcare services in Luganville, Vanuatu.

    Funded on Saturday, 22nd June 2019

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Having finished my five years at medical school, I will this April to June be travelling to Vanuatu in the South Pacific to undertake a 6 week medical elective in a small hospital in Luganville. I will also be spending some time with the charity Medical Santo who provide more primary care services and outreach clinics across the island.

    These health care facilities will be very different to what we are used to in the UK and therefore I would very much like to take some equipment out to gift to both the hospital and the charity. The kind of things I will be looking to take out are: gloves, thermometers and BP cuffs.

    I am holding a fundraising afternoon tea on the 24th February which I hope lots of you will be able to enjoy.

    Also I will be offering an optional raffle ticket for every £1 donated. I will shortly be posting the prizes available here. Please do let me know if you would like tickets when you donate.

    Thanks for taking the time to donate and I will be sure to let you know what I am able to buy to take to Vanuatu with any kind donations.

      A huge thank you for all your donations. I’ve bought more equipment than I’d ever hoped to be able to take out to Vanuatu, this includes: - 4 paediatric stethoscopes - 4 paediatric oxygen saturation monitors - 2 paediatric blood pressure monitors with various sizes of cuffs - 2 large boxes of gloves - 4 packs of kids plasters for when they receive vaccines I will be sure to update you when the hospital and clinic receive our kind gifts in just over 2 weeks time. Thank you all again, so much 💕 x

      Apologies for the delay but the winners of our raffle prizes were Petrina and Rene, both of whom attended the afternoon tea! I have already let them both know :) Altogether we've raised over £400, so I can shortly let you know about all the amazing equipment you've helped me to buy to take over! Thank you all so so much x
