Monetary Donors
​

Increasingly, philanthropy and individual donors play a role as supporters and partners of ANZGITA as we continue to deliver our training programs, expand our activities within them, provide equipment, and support centres and doctors we work with as we look to initiate programs in more countries. The role of donations is growing in importance due to reductions in Australian government funding of development work in AsiaPacific countries. 

Please consider donating to the good health of the poorest nations.  See the DONATE page for how to donate. 

The directors and members of ANZGITA gratefully acknowledge the support of all our donors. Below are some examples of generous philanthropic, corporate and private individual donations:

In an effort orchestrated by Dr Terry Gavaghan, a number of doctors in Canberra chose to donate a fee from a procedure each undertook for ANZGITA's work in Fiji. Our thanks to them. We are looking to replicate this approach elsewhere.

To these individuals, corporations and foundations, and othes who have generously donated, we express our sincere thanks.
