Flying Doctors
Inspired by their experiences with Rejoice, two former Bangkok Patana students, now medical students at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), have launched their own outreach programme. Their initiative takes young pre-medics to observe rural medical programmes overseas, providing them with a firsthand perspective on healthcare delivery in diverse settings. This programme builds on the foundation laid by Rejoice, which, prior to the pandemic, hosted summer programmes immersing students in the realities of HIV/AIDS care in remote Thai communities, mentored by HIV-positive volunteer healthcare workers from local hospitals.
