ROTARY OVERSEAS WITH MEDICAL
AID FOR CHILDREN (ROMAC)
ROMAC is an Australian initiative in Rotary International Service. Reaching Overseas with Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) brings children from developing countries to Australia for surgery to overcome life threatening conditions or dignity restoring procedures, that are not available or cannot be performed in their own country. WHAT HAS ROMAC DONE? Since commencing in Bendigo in 1985, ROMAC has brought hundreds of patients from the Asia Pacific region to Australia for surgery. ROMAC also sponsors surgeon visits to nations in the Asia Pacific region to perform surgery and teach local surgeons directly benefiting many more patients. This exchange of expertise by medical teams also benefits children everywhere. |
