Medical Aid Project

If you are a UQ student doing your elective abroad, please fill out this form

The TIME Medical Aid Project aims to create and foster ongoing relationships with hospitals in developing communities in an attempt to facilitate long-term improvements in the health of the people they serve.

The many UQ medical students undertaking placements in needy areas around the world identify communities for the Medical Aid Project to work with. Through liaising with these communities to understand their needs and health status, and through the sourcing and provision of medical supplies and health initiatives to these communities, students gain an appreciation of the importance of global health issues while simultaneously raising local awareness and addressing the immediate needs of many grateful communities worldwide.

In 2009 alone, the project delivered supplies to over 20 countries, including communities in Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands.
