Medical.

A. Direct Medical Attention- We provide emergency medical treatment when called upon though we have made the community aware of our lack of qualification we provide this because we have no local APO and our nearest health center is anywhere from 5hours to a days travel.

B. Medical Evacuation Services- We provide emergency evacuation services via river with our canoe and outboard motor and if need be via plane.

C.Preventative Medicine Education- We do not just treat minor injuries and ailments but we use those times to educate people as to how they can prevent some of the common ailments. We also use the women's meetings to educate mothers on not only their health but on the care of their children and basic first aid.

D.Provision of Medicine for sell or benevolent distribution- We have provided some medicines free of charge and some other medicines at discount rates for treatment of non-life threatening illnesses such as scabies and grille. We are starting to charge a small fee for all medicine in order to teach people that medicine comes at a price and to train them for the future of clinics and health services which will require payment for services.

E. Recruitment of future nurses to serve in the tok ples area- We are encouraging young school children to consider the study of medicine to help their people. We are even considering making contracts with eligible students to exchange school fee for service render in our local area.
