The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Foundation for Surgery have been instrumental in supporting surgical needs in remote and disadvantaged communities, not only in Australia and New Zealand but also our neighbours in the Asia Pacific. One surgeon who’s benefited from their support is Dr Trevor Cullwick, Head of Department of Surgery and Orthopaedic surgeon in Vila Central Hospital, the main referral hospital in Vanuatu. Born and raised in Vanuatu, Dr Cullwick discusses his career and experiences working in a remote Pacific-island nation.
