I’m going to Papua New Guinea as part of an Open Heart International team. The team works with the local team at Port Moresby General Hospital to provide cardiac surgery for the people of PNG who would otherwise struggle with shortened lives from heart failure. In the short term, we’ll be doing surgery for people who need it now. In the long term, we’re helping the local team develop a self sustaining home grown cardiac surgery program. I donate my time and skills to both do and teach surgery. Your donations will go to Open Heart International to continue to fund these trips, helping the people of PNG both receive and give the gift of cardiac surgery.
