RAWCS Project No 14/2008-09
During the 10th and 11th August 2018 a team of over 100 volunteers from ophthalmological, nursing, optometry, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, logistics, administrative and support backgrounds departed Australian shores to participate in the AHHA 2018 Field Trip to Cambodia over a time frame from 11th Aug to 24 Aug 2018.
The purpose of the field trip was to provide free Cataract surgery, Medical and Dental services to poor and needy people from rural areas of Cambodia who otherwise would not have access to these medical and dental services.
Humanitarian activities were also conducted which resulted in the distribution of 2000 water filters to remote and isolated villages and communities where clean water is not available and had been affected by seasonal monsoon rains and flooding. Food parcels and financial assistance were also provided.
Over a period of six (6) days the following results were achieved:
Eye Team
910 patients screened, 498 eye surgeries performed.
Dental Team
756 patients (mainly special needs and orphaned children) screened, 2008 dental procedures provided.

Natalia is from West Papua, Indonesia. She is 25 years old and lives with her family near the township of Jayapura. She has lived with the condition known as Neurofibromatosis since the age of two. We understand there was an attempt to kill her when she was very young because of her appearance, and as a result of this attempt, she has been left with a terrible leg deformity.
