This joint project involving Rotary Clubs of Hutt City, Pencarrow, Johnsonville and Wellington North is at the implementation stage. The equipment – theatre linen manufactured in Dili ($NZ20,000), shelving system($NZ10,000) and computers, have all been ordered and will be in place in time to be received by four team members arriving from New Zealand and Australia at the end of May and early June 2013.
The team will set about
training local nursing staff in the correct ‘handling’ of the linen and
instruments with further training taking place back in New Zealand at a later
time. The anticipated success of the Project will result in local nursing
staff using up to date methods and equipment that will support the surgical
staff provide better outcomes for their patients.
It is interesting to see
that the original budget of $85,000 has been eroded by the ‘exchange rate’ to
$80,000. The Royal College of Australasian Surgeons (RACS) has been
instrumental in overseeing the project alongside Rotary and the Rotary Club of
Dili has provided guidance and support along the way.
