This video is a snapshot of some of the work carried out by ADI – Australian volunteer doctors working with Papua New Guinean health teams to treat and train on the front line.
In 2018/19, across two PNG provinces ADI was on patrol for 215 days, delivered 25,000 clinical services, covered 52% of health facilities across our provinces and trained 181 healthcare workers.
91% of patrols in New Ireland Province have a family planning health care worker and we provided 1000 couple-years of protection (for family planning).
Please see all our indicators in our 2018/19 Annual Report. Thanks for your help.
In such rugged and remote terrain, communities rely on ADI’s doctors for basic and life-saving health care and upskilling of remote healthcare workers.

A few hours by plane but a world away in experience.
