Medisonship 3's RN Timothy has put together a video of the last medical tour. We have missed your videos Tim Tims while you were on sick leave. So glad you're back again doing what you LOVE best, serving others and being Jesus's Hands and Feetππshowing His Love to others β€οΈ
We are also glad the little boy π¦ you treated with a very bad chest infection is recovering quite well in the Munda hospitalπππoh how blessed he was that Med 3 arrived in his village at the right time π
The two boys above are every excited to have their own Bible Stories book, thanks to those who have donated them.
These folk are grateful for their gifts of clothing π
These are some of the typical medical complaints that Medisonship 3 has encountered on this month's tour. Providentially, as Med 3 arrived at Mase Village on North New Georgia Island they saw a mother crying. Our staff had no idea what was happening but an elderly man came and asked them to go see a child who had been to the nearest clinic but because of no medication there was sent back home again.
"So we did go and see the kid and with God's help I managed to put up the IV before we referred them to go to Munda hospital. This is a urgent referral case. With God's help I anticipate kid will recover from severe chest infection and hypoglycaemia of 1.1mmol/1glucose. We put the child under our prayer point. π this kid has a history of cough, short breath, convulsions with several fits. They attended the nearby clinic without been treated because of no drug available in clinic. Medisonship 3 was blessed to arrive this morning. There is hope for this mother. We prayed with the mother" story as told by RN Timothy, photo credits Timothy
Thanks RN Timothy for allowing God to use you to help save this child's life π God's timing is always perfect π₯°
"The Medisonships are an initiative in the Solomon Islands aimed at improving access to healthcare in remote and underserved areas. These ships are essentially floating clinics equipped with medical facilities and staff. They travel to various islands, providing essential medical services such as general check-ups, vaccinations, and emergency care. This program is crucial in a country where many communities are isolated due to the vast number of small islands and limited transportation infrastructure. The Medisonships help bridge the gap in healthcare access, ensuring that even the most remote populations receive necessary medical attention."
Medisonship 4 is touring Vona Vona Lagoon for September π a blessing to the village folk who have been waiting for "their boat" to arrive to treat the sick. The children are always the first ones down to the wharf to do the welcoming π π
Medisonships 3's September tour is in progress and the demand for eye glasses is huge πif anyone is able to collect these for Sonship and drop them into the Sonship Op Shop it would be greatly appreciated. Or you can post them to PO Box 127, Cooranbong, 2265.
