Dr David Berger and his wife Dr Carol Bird, both British-trained GPs, emigrated to Australia in 2013. They currently work as District Medical Officers in Emergency Medicine in Broome Hospital.
In 1995, Dr Berger and his wife spent four months volunteering in Gizo Hospital with Dr John Parry-Jones, which he describes as “a life-changing experience”. Dr Berger is very keen to rekindle this contact with the Solomons and volunteer there again in due course, perhaps next time in Lata.
