Sometimes, a simple piece of equipment can make an extraordinary difference.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, cbm is helping strengthen rehabilitation services across Papua New Guinea.

At St Joseph’s Hospital, physiotherapy staff previously had to remove casts by hand using surgical blades – a painstaking process that could take hours.

Now, a new battery-powered cast saw means casts can be removed much more quickly, safely, and comfortably for people recovering from broken bones, spinal tuberculosis, and other conditions.

Your support is also helping provide physiotherapy teams with specialised training, quality equipment, and improved clinical tools.

It may seem like a small piece of equipment, but for the people who need it, the difference is significant. And it’s possible because of you.

Thank you for helping dedicated health workers in Papua New Guinea provide better care.
