About Us

Colorectal surgery encompasses disease of the bowel that may require surgery including bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and diverticular disease.

We are a group of like-minded health care professionals with a special interest in Colorectal Surgery. Working at our respective hospitals in Australia and New Zealand, we have a unified vision to improve colorectal care in under-resourced communities.

We strive to help communities such as Fiji by donating essential medical equipment, providing colorectal education to local health care workers and patients and providing colorectal expertise to complex colorectal patients in Fiji.

We envision improving the healthcare of other pacific nations and other under-resourced communities in the world.
