Victoria-Vanuatu Physician Project hasn't added a story.
Since 1991, a unique partnership and non-profit society of physicians and their families from southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, has provided continuous physician staffing for Lenakel Hospital. As a grass-roots development project, ViVa partnered with the Government of Vanuatu to provide basic health services to the southern islands of Vanuatu from 1991 to 2015.
ViVa physicians from Vancouver Island filled the position of Medical Superintendant or Medical Officer for Tafea Province for 6-month terms. In January 2015, physicians from Vanuatu replaced their Canadian counterparts on Tanna, bringing the ViVa project to a happy end. All of that changed on March 14th with Cyclone Pam.
Cyclone Pam leveled the island of Tanna, and destroyed years of progress and development in the region. Most of the hospital and medical equipment in Lenakel is now unusable.
We need you to help us fund repairs to the Lenakel hospital and other health structures on Tanna. 100% of funds donated will go directly to support the work of Rotary Australia volunteer teams to help rebuild and maintain the hospital, clinics, and medical staff housing on Tanna.
Lenakel Hospital is the only hospital in the Tafea province, serving 30,000 people. The hospital was underequipped before the cyclone, and now it is in ruins. Please give today to help Tanna recover and flourish.
TANNA NEWS
We are devastated and anxious about the terrible destruction and loss of life in Vanuatu and especially Tanna Island, from Cyclone Pam. Our thoughts and prayers are with our friends on Tanna and the people of Vanuatu as they struggle with this and its aftermath. Read about the last ViVa Doctor, Jeff Unger and his family, recently returned from Tanna.
TAX RECEIPTS will be issued. Thank you for your help.
