News from the Program Director, Clinical Coordinator, and our expedition reports.
The new Tufi Health Center under construction. A project No Roads - Health has facilitated in partnership with The Shine On Foundation, Oro Province Provincial Health, PNG Forest Products and most importantly - the local community. On schedule to open 15 May 2017!!
No Roads Health is delighted to be able to reduce the price of all the planned (5) trips in 2017 due to generous corporate sponsorship the No Roads Expeditions Foundation (Aust) has been able to secure.
In 2017 NR-H is hoping to see the re-construction of the Tufi Health Centre into a brand new facility with a twelve bed inpatient ward, delivery room and post natal ward area, outpatient facility, dispensary, offices and an amenities block. This has been made possible due to generous sponsorship money the No Roads Foundation (Aust) has been able to secure.
Over the past few days, KTF, in partnership with No Roads - Health, has conducted First Aid Courses at the Kokoda College. The courses were aimed at community members from the Oro Province as well as potentials students for the School of Health. Their course was part of the screening process.
In total, we had 46 participants - 27 male and 18 female. A fantastic turnout! Thank you to everyone who participated.
As previously reported...we met a number of families last November who were caring for their severely disabled children. We purchased some wheelchairs for them and they were delivered (Thank You PNG AIR for your amazing support) by Amanda & Fiona from No Roads Expeditions.
From Fiona..."Thanks for the honour of having the opportunity to deliver these to the families and to witness a life changing day for Andrew, Vicky, Gretel and Noble. I think this was one of the proudest days I have ever had in PNG". ..." Ashron age 6 had never sat up on his own his entire life until this magical day. His joy when first placed in the chair all over his face spoke a million words of how you have all just changed his world! His smile lightened the whole of PNG," WOW!!!
