Medical and non-medical volunteers needed to assist in Mega Health clinic in Mt. Hagen, Papua New Guinea 16-19 April, 2024.
AWR360° Health are looking for a team of 400 volunteers, to include:
We are told that with the appropriate number of staff we can easily have 1,000 people per day asking for medical/dental services.
There is a shortage of medical professionals in the Mt. Hagen region. With 1 dentist for over 200,000 people, the need is great. Our purpose and mission is to follow Christ’s example by providing 360˚ of whole-person healing to those who have little or no access to health care and offer as many medical services as we have specialties for. With the help of volunteers, we aspire to provide as many free medical, dental, eye care and surgical services as possible.
PNG Mega Health Clinic is partnering with AWR360° Health, Papua New Guinea Union Mission, 10000 Toes and Elia for this project. You are invited to participate in this wonderful medical outreach!
