Dr. Jennifer Johns Cardiologist at AUSTIN HEALTH will lead the medical team to Sri Lanka on our 29th post-tsunami visit from the end of June 2017. Dr Jennifer was honoured with a Member of the Order of Australia AM in last year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours.
We will visit Hatton/Dickoya, Batticaloa/Valaichennai, Yala/Beralihela, Matara/Akuressa and the Karapitiya teaching hospital Galle.
Cardiology will be the focus of attention at the teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka. We have cardiac equipment for Dr. Arulnithy and Dr. Sathanathan at the cath labs at Batticaloa and Galle. Lectures to the Galle Medical Society and final year medical student lectures at Karapitiya form part of the activity at Galle.
We will also be doing many general medical clinics and will visit orphanages at Batticaloa and Hatton.
