💙 A huge thank you to our community 💙

Last weekend, we faced a very challenging situation when we had a seriously unwell dive patient requiring urgent treatment for decompression sickness.

As anyone involved in dive medicine knows, a patient requiring oxygen can use a significant amount, and our oxygen supplies were quickly running low.

When we needed help, our community stepped up.

Northern Provincial Hospital, Santo, Vanuatu provided us with their last available oxygen bottle, and Paul from Aore Adventures Sports & Lodge and Jack from Pacific Dive also generously supplied oxygen when we were running short.

Thanks to everyone who helped, our patient was able to receive the oxygen they desperately needed while arrangements were made for transfer to Port Vila for further care.

We are incredibly grateful to the hospital, Paul, Jack, and everyone who supported us during what was a very stressful time. It is moments like these that remind us just how important our community is — people putting aside everything else to help when it truly matters. 🙏💙

Thank you for stepping up when we needed you most. We are so very grateful.

A massive thank you to the incredible maintenance team from Lakeshore Church - Sunshine Coast who came over to serve with us this past August! 🛠️

We are so grateful for the generosity you showed with your time and your willing hearts. The practical upgrades and hard work you poured into the Medical Santo clinic have been an absolute blessing to our staff and the local patients we see every day. Running a clinic over here comes with its fair share of wear and tear, and it is partnerships and volunteer teams like yours that keep our facilities running smoothly. You saw what needed to be done and just got straight to work!

Looking ahead, our vision for the clinic is growing. We have more essential maintenance works scheduled for early next year, along with potential further facility upgrades we will need to look at in the coming years to keep up with the growing need.

If you are a tradesperson interested in volunteering your skills, or a construction business that might be able to bring a team over to Vanuatu, please reach out. Whether it's fixing what we have or building for the future, your help will mean the world to us and the people of Santo! - reach out to us at [email protected]

We’ve attached a few snapshots of the Lakeshore team in action!

Thank you again for stepping up to help us make a lasting, practical difference. 🙏

🎉 FOUND! 🎉

A lovely Mama at the markets handed back the lost passport 🛂 and all the money 💵🙏

What an awesome woman ❤️🌺

A huge THANK YOU! 😊🙌

Your honesty and kindness mean so much. 💕🌟

Help find lost passport!
Medical Santo volunteers were in a white taxi today - Simon is the driver and they are sure that they left their small pencil case (picture of Italy on the case) in the taxi. It has their passport and money in it.
They are volunteering at Medical Santo for two weeks. Please can Simon call at the clinic.
These volunteers need their passport so that they can go home and also their money for their food for the two weeks.
Thank you to everyone - please if you see a small case that has a picture of Italy on it and it's cream and black. Drop it back to Medical Santo.
Thank you for helping these volunteers.
