Medical Mission to Vava’u Tonga, 2026

We had a wonderful medical humanitarian trip to Vava’u Tonga in June of 2026. We met so many wonderful people and learned so much about the situation inVava’u. We were able to meet and create awesome relationships with the Doctors and Nurses at Prince Wellington Ngu Hospital, where we hope to do much more work in the future.

Here’s what occured during or trip:

- Met with Prince Wellington Ngu Hospital’s Doctors and nurses to assess needs.

- Met with supplies coordinator to better understand what they need etc.

- Screened 350 patients in the hospital and around the community for AIC and measured for BMI, and provided a free medical packet of diabetic type info for everyone tested.

- Donated 650 instant AIC kits to their NCD clinic (they do regular visits to the outer islands where people rarely get tested for DM, so they were excited to have mobile testing options)

- Donated a wound VAC and a year’s worth of supplies (foam, adhesive, cannisters), trained hospital staff on placement and usage on hospital in-patients.

- Performed a surgeries and procedures with their PCP’s (acting surgeons) and nurses, and was able to train them on a limb salvage cases.

- Trained the wound care nurses on wound care techniques, small surgical procedures, training on recognizing osteomyelitis etc.

- Gathered contact info from all hospital staff members, developed greate relationships and learned how we can reach more patients next year.
