This was a 3 day “fact-finding” mission by colorectal surgeons Dr Santee Santanam and Dr Gary McKay to Taro Hospital in the remote far North West Choisell Province. The hospital OT was in a state of disrepair, with no surgical cases prepared so no surgery was able to be performed this trip.
Planes only travel twice a week to this remote Taro island in Choiseul Province, so we had to kill time for 3 days waiting for our return flight to Gizo.
Electricity runs for limited hours and only on weekdays so finding a cool spot to escape the heat became our major preoccupation. Pictured above is Dr Santee Santnam relaxing in a hammock on the most northern coast of Taro, trying to catch a breeze in the extremely hot weather.
