| About Outreach |
| |
| Orthopaedic Outreach is an international charity. It
is a body of surgeons, nurses and Rotarians who are committed
to improving the orthopaedic health of nations in the
Asia Pacific Region. |
| |
| There are two main aims of the Orthopaedic Outreach
charity. Firstly, by facilitating several surgical tours
each year to these nations, a large number of patients
are able to be treated. Secondly, visits focus on the
education of local doctors so that eventually they are
able to offer the same high standard of surgery to their
own people. To this end, a set curriculum has been compiled
by Orthopaedic Outreach to allow doctors from several
of these countries to complete a diploma program in orthopaedic
surgery. |
| |
| To date, Orthopaedic Outreach expeditions have reached
Indonesia, Fiji, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Timor and many
other Pacific Island nations. For example, ‘Club
Foot’ is a common congenital abnormality in the
Polynesian People and over the last 20 years over 600
children from Tonga have been treated for this condition.
Problems associated with non or mal union of fractures
and septic arthritis of joints are other common problems
encountered while abroad. |
