Our Approach
Initial kick-off
Generously supported by the Swiss Association ”South Pacific Medical Projects” Medicine in the South Pacific and in partnership with the Pacific Islands Orthopaedic Association (PIOA), Dr. med. Konrad Mende and Dr. med. Hermann Oberli did an initial week of evaluation on site in February 2020.
Learning Modules
In addition to highly motivated and qualified partners on site, an appropriate infrastructure including teaching rooms, operating theaters and equipment for hand and microsurgical interventions will be established, initially for 4 years with 8 two-week training modules (2x / Year) for hand and reconstructive surgery.
Measure outcomes
Our progress is measured through the collection of all relevant data via existing databases for the critical measurement of change and progress and their evaluation in the context of audits research projects.
