Welcome to Pacific Islands Medical Aid
Medical AidWith a modest donation, we’re able to purchase urgently needed medicines and supplies at a fraction of their retail price.
For a little more, we are able to send volunteer doctors to regions where there are none, and specialist physicians to perform critical life-saving surgeries.
CommunicationsPIMA has installed high frequency radio systems which now enable nurses on outer islands in Kiribati to speak with a doctor on the main island.
More help is needed to upgrade the system’s reliability, which is critical in cases of medical emergencies on the isolated outer islands, where there is no doctor.
TransportationPlanes and small boats must be used to reach some of the most remote of Kiribati’s islands, where government supply ships seldom call.
Help us pay for emergency evacuation for patients on outer islands.
