Orthopaedic Outreach
Dr Andreas Loefler and Dr Doron Sher both travelled to Fiji in October as part of the Volunteer organisation of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
There are two main aims of the Orthopaedic Outreach charity:
Firstly; by facilitating several surgical tours each year, 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. Doctors from several of these countries are able to complete a diploma program in orthopaedic surgery.
