Marlee Paterson - Papua New Guinea
Marlee was able to observe many procedures in the Emergency Department at Port Moresby General Hospital, these included lumbar punctures, chest drain insertion for the drainage of pneumothorax, peritoneal dialysis and suturing. As the ED lacked basic supplied of syringes, iodine and chest drain tubes, there was a lot of improvisation on the job with many doctors using whatever equipment they had access to.

Lachlan Davis - Nepal
Whilst in Nepal, Lachlan spent most of his time with the Leprosy and Dermatology team. Leprosy is highly misunderstood and stigmatised, and sufferers will often avoid any medical contact for fear of being labelled a leper and risking exclusion from their communities. Lachlan was able to attend theatre, observing or assisting the surgeons as they debrided terrible pressure sores, performed complex spinal surgery and undertook function-restoring, life-changing reconstructive surgery.
Angus Taylor - Nepal
As 50 patients lined the walls of the single ED room, no curtains for privacy and only a few beds to share. Angus found it incredible that the local doctors could take the chaos in their stride. The diseases that patients presented to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Nepal are similar to those seen in Melbourne, however often much more extreme in their presentations. Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, alcoholic liver disease, decompensated congestive cardiac failure and end stage renal failure due to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were common.
Brieana Nolan - Philippines
Many of the different methods and procedures used at Western Visayas Medical Centre in the Philippines were due to limited resources, the healthcare staff worked tirelessly very long hours, and through this experience, Brieana saw many conditions that she would rarely see back home in Australia. On her first day on the Paediatric ward Brieana saw two patients, aged 4 and 6 with tetralogy of fallot who had not had surgery to repair their heart defects when born. She was also witness to many patients with thalassaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and haemorrhagic disease of the newborn.
