Global Training Platform
GFH believes its time to eradicate band-aid thinking, previously being one and two week medical missions, inadequate facilities and even dumping of out of date pharmaceutical products in the developing world. GFH's focus is on a global training and professional development platform to train medical professionals in developing countries, to build sustainability and self-sufficiency.
This charity was launched by Neill Newton (Founder and Chairman) in 2001, as a humanitarian MEDICAL charity, and has since repositioned to provide Boeing 747 Teaching Hospitals, Hercules C130 cargo aircraft and modular field clinics and the advanced training of medical professionals in developing countries, to lift their skills, via the flying hospitals, eLearning medical portal and tele-medicine.
Kelly Barker is the International CEO - and the organisation operates from the USA Regional Head Office in Palm Beach, Florida ... and the Asia Regional Head Office in Macau SAR China.
The Boeing 747s are being refurbished as Teaching Hospitals, (and each with a differing medical specialism) with video training conference rooms and viewable surgical theaters. Participants are instructed in medical procedures onboard, along with tele-medicine broadcasting instruction to remote centers.
GFH helps other charities expand their reach, in providing services, health care and preventative medicine on a far broader and deeper scale. GFH gives them the mobility, the penetration, access to high-tech surgical theaters, clean green self-contained field clinics and the latest medical equipment available. So, no longer must humanitarian medical charities make-do with tin-shed clinics, inadequate resources and lack of speed and mobility. GFH supplies the logistics support and the tools to do their work more efficiently.
However, the main focus is for GFH to help countries systematically raise medical standards to self-sufficiency and sustainable levels.
The new website will launch in early January 2011 and will explain the full operations of GFH.
