We are an Australian notforprofit international development organisation committed to improving the health and wellbeing of vulnerable communities in Ethiopia, Madagascar, Somaliland and Comoros through: Medical Service Provision: Our teams of volunteer medical specialists provide treatment and surgery to those most in need in the areas of orthopaedics, clubfoot, gastroenterology, urology, gynaecology/obstetrics, ENT and paediatric surgery. Skills Transfer and Training: Each overseas medical assignment has a strong focus on training and mentoring of local medical personnel. This may be through observation of a procedure, formal training sessions or structured teaching programs such as the Nurses Training Program or Basic Orthopaedic Management Course in Trauma. ADFA also provides a scholarship program to assist Somaliland doctors to access specialist training, mainly in Ethiopia, and to support medical students in Hargeisa. Hospital Infrastructure Development: ADFA supports the construction or renovation of existing infrastructure, and provision of medical equipment and supplies. Advanced Development: Wellestablished Clubfoot Programs in Madagascar and Somaliland have significantly progressed the early screening and treatment of clubfoot. With the training of incountry technicians and establishment of clubfoot clinics the debilitating condition can now be detected at a very early age and successfully treated. ADFA has participated in strategic planning and collaboration to progress the provision of orthopaedics, gastroenterology and clubfoot. We have strong relationships with government agencies and incountry partners, such as hospitals and NGOs.
