Below is an alphabetical list of organisations
and individuals who have helped Bairo Pite Clinic provide assistance
to the ill and needy of East Timor.
The objective of the medical supplies and services
(MSS) Program from AFAP is to provide hospital equipment and medical
supplies to hospitals and health centres in developing nations.
AFAP collects superseded and surplus equipment which are no longer
required by NSW nursing homes, private and public hospitals. AFAP
then refurbishes them in their warehouse and ships them to hospitals
and clinics in developing nations. The recycling of superseded
equipment also helps the environment in Australia as it reduces
demand in landfills in NSW.

surgical services to disadvantaged people, especially children
and young adults in the region where the service is not
available and cannot be afforded. |
