The team spent a very busy two weeks visiting three hospitals in two cities, completing 325 consultations and 63 surgical procedures, and providing training to 114 medical staff and students.  Stuart repaired many pieces of equipment, and serviced all the endoscopic equipment at the three hospitals.

Huge thanks to our medical volunteers, and to the DAK Foundation for donating equipment.

This assignment was supported by a Direct Aid Program grant from the Australian Embassy in Mauritius.  ADFA also acknowledges ongoing support for its Madagascar programs from Base Toliara, BlackEarth Minerals, St John of God Subiaco Hospital and Air Mauritius.
