The 13th year – awe inspiring!

368 cataract and pterygium surgeries were carried out free of charge to patients, including 5 children.  In the photo, see in use one of the oxygen machines donated to Waiyevo (Taveuni) Hospital as part of the Fiji Oxygen Project – 2 Global Grants in action at once.

Several members of the medical team who have been working on this project for several years, including lead surgeon Dr Jeff Rutgard (13 years on the project) and nurse Jan Beamish (12 years), were recognised by Taveuni Rotary with PHFs.  A huge thank you to Geoffrey Amos and his team, and especially to his wife Joey who does so much that most people don’t see.
