We have been very busy with Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC*).
 
Since I  returned  home 10 days ago we in ROMAC have transited a total of 12 people through Darwin Airport.
These include two carers and two patients last week who attend Royal Darwin Hospital, stayed overnight with me before returning to Dili, three Mothers and three children arrived from Dili on Saturday and transfer to Auckland via Melbourne, the children will have cardiac surgery and our latest little one Justino and his mother returned to Dili Wednesday morning.
Justino arrived in Darwin when he was five days old, he had urgent surgery in Royal Darwin Hospital that saved his life and now at two months' old he is a delightful little baby and is healthy and can expect to have a great future.
 
It is indeed a privilege to be a ROMAC volunteer and see the extraordinary results that the ROMAC program provides to children who would otherwise have not such a great future and long life expectancy.
 

What is ROMAC?

Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children is a combined Australia and New Zealand Multi District Rotary initiative.  ROMAC has been in operation for over 25 years.
 
ROMAC's mission is to provide specialist treatment for children, from developing countries, in the form of life saving and/or dignity restoring surgery not accessible to them in their home country.
