M.A.M.C.I (Medical Aid Mission for Communities In need) is a
student run project that aims set up a health centre by collecting redundant medical equipment from
hospitals around Queensland, maintaining, repairing and distributing
it along with spare parts, knowledge and training programs
to communities who desperately need these facilities.
This is a Short Video of the MAMCI mission it
depicts the health situation of the rural Papua New
Guinean people.
Recently, our two co-directors embarked on a
trip to the East Sepik district of Papua New Guinea to
investigate the possible locations for rural Medical Centre.
Having seen the conditions of hospitals and communities
firsthand, we know this project offers our fellow students who
want to make a difference the chance to further their own
learning as well as bring huge benefits to impoverished people
who really need a lot of help.
