Fiji Aid International

Our team was able to go to Fiji in September of 2023.

The team was lead by Dr. Czernecki, Cathreen Kumar RN, and Pramila Ram RN.

Other team members were Dr. Alan Chong, Dr. Elizabeth Chong, Debra Smith RN, Dr. Lloyd Smith, Shou Lor RN, Jitendra Ram, Michael Ditou RN, and Sally Czernecki.

Cathreen, Pramila, Jitendra, Shou and Michael are from USA.
The rest of team members are from Australia.

The team provided medical care to folks in remote villages inthe Raki Raki area, Koroi Peter in Lautoka and Patan clinic in Nadi.

Care included general medical care and dermatology care by a Dermatologist. The number of people with skin diseases was astounding.

Around 600 people were seen and treated.

Everyone was screened for diabetes and high blood pressure.

Of importance was the number of children and adults seen with scabies and other skin diseases. We were lucky to get a lot of donations, to treat scabies, especially the medicine, Ivermectin.

Our gratitude to donors and volunteers who made a difference in these people’s lives.

We recognize the following donors for their kindness by their donations:

~Oraderm pharmacy ,Sunpharma, Myne Pharma
~EGO pharmacy, Leo Pharmacy, Rotary Ethan
~Anna Peters (glucometers), AMSL (diabetic strips)
~Mountain Gate eye care for glasses, (all from Australia )
~Huge thanks to Mrs Fiona Bishop from Australia and Noel Singh of USA for their monetary donations.

Special thanks to Dr. Czernecki for reaching out to all the donors for donations.

Thank you to everyone who are continuing to support our organization!

We have been able to help people for over 22 yrs now. The pandemic did affect our ability to actually go on medical missions for past two years and we hope to resume the medical missions this year.

We did however donate funds to charities on the ground in Fiji at the height of the pandemic to help towards distribution of food and basic necessities to those in need.

We also donated to help the victims the massive fires in California.
