ABOUT ANZGITA - Helping Save Lives
Our team has developed a short 10-slide Powerpoint presentation to inform people about the good work we do and, for those that have been on a training program, to use it as a platform to share your training experiences. We would like to ask you to connect with your colleagues for as little as 10 minutes at a work event or meeting, during lunch breaks, in a teaching session or with any other interested party such as Gut Clubs. It is available as a slide deck, as well as a Flipbook for easy iPad access in smaller groups.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to share how we help save lives by building gastroenterology capacity in the Indo-Paciific region. You may view the Flipbook below. A pdf file version is here.
Request the PowerPoint slide deck with notes here.
Let us know how you go, or better yet, send us a link to the recording of your presentation.
Pacific Programs Leader, Chris Hair, Interviewed at Radio NZ

North Pacific
Dr Payne Perman met with Australian Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, when she visited the Federated States of Micronesia recently. Payne practises endoscopy at Pohnpei Hospital. He asked Ms Bishop for more Australian assistance and we support his effort.
Currently, Payne is an attendee at Chris Hair's tele-education endoscopy lectures which are presented in real time with Q&A sessions to a number of hospitals in the Pacific.
Chris met Payne and Dr Kabiri Tun of Kiribati when they were in Melbourne recently and discussed the needs of the "North" Pacific. The idea of a one or two week intensive training program in Pohnpei, which has good air links to other North Pacific nations, with doctor and nurse trainees from the four Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati and perhaps other nations was discussed. This program has consolidate what would otherwise be individually funded and delivered outreach visits.
