The Solomon Islands government’s efforts to procure and finance a CT scan machine and laboratory at the National Referral Hospital highlights the significance of government backing in enhancing healthcare accessibility, as demonstrated by our team’s recent mission. Without a CT scanner the team would not have been able to deliver optimal neurosurgical services.

The unsung heroes of our trip: Solomon Islanders from a local church in Honiara. They prepared and delivered daily lunches for the team, theater, and HDU staff throughout our operations. Their generosity is just one of many heartwarming stories from the Solomon Islands. Tagio tumas. 🇸🇧

Did you know? At the National Referral Hospital in Solomon Islands, there are only three theatres for major cases. Our team is grateful for the generosity of the hospital staff, who allowed us to use two theaters, leaving just one for emergency cases. The resilience, kindness, and love from the people here have touched our hearts. 🩺🌴🧠
