The Billy Riordan Memorial Trust

My name is Fionnuala Healy and I’ve just completed my 4th year of medicine in NUIG. This summer I’m travelling to Malawi to volunteer in the Billy Riordan Memorial Clinic. I’m really looking forward to this opportunity and to finally being able help others using the clinical skills I’ve learnt over the past few years!

The original Billy Riordan Memorial Clinic was opened in 2004 to provide primary care medical services to the people of Chembe and Cape Maclear in Malawi in Central Africa.

At the time there was no medical treatment available in the community of approximately 16,000 people. Men, women and children died on a daily basis from largely preventable and treatable diseases. The nearest district hospital is a one and a half hour difficult journey away and was out of reach for most villagers. Today The Billy Clinic remains the only medical care available in the area.

Donations to this Gofundme will go directly towards much needed medical supplies and cost of running the clinic.
