About the Charity

Across the Pacific, the RACS Global Health Team is implementing the Pacific Islands Program or PIP. This program currently covers 10 Pacific Island Countries, including Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu, Nauru, Tuvalu, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Tonga, the Cook Islands, the Solomon Islands and Kiribati.  Global Health deploy teams to PIP countries to conduct complex surgical procedures and also to provide a range of clinical training.

 

The Pacific Islands Program (PIP) has been synonymous with RACS Global Health since it was launched in 1995. Funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the last two decades have seen more than 600 volunteer medical teams visit 11 Pacific Island countries, providing over 60,000 consultations and 16,000 procedures.

 

In 2016, RACS entered into a new agreement with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to extend the program, with activities now covering all specialised clinical services including surgery, anaesthesia, cardiology, nursing, radiology, nephrology, psychiatry and more.
