Welcome To TroppoDoc
Volunteers Make Up The Organization Of TroppoDoc
TroppoDoc is one of the smallest Non Government Organisations (NGO) in the world and is run by Dr Derek Allen.
Dr Derek relies however on an army of volunteers, including nurses, surgeons, public health enthusiasts, dentists, medical and nursing students and anyone who is willing to lend a hand to get medical and health services to some of the poorest and healthcare-deprived populations in the world.
VOLUNTEERSare essential to TroppoDoc in its commitment to helping those in need. Check us out on this Youtube video.
TroppoDoc NEEDS YOUR HELP!
As a Volunteer you will be warmly welcomed for any length of time. Volunteer for two weeks, one month, or six weeks - you will probably find that you will want to stay even longer!
Nursing, medical and midwife students. This could be a unique opportunity for one of your community placement.
If you consider becoming a volunteer at TroppoDoc, you can register on the Volunteer Database page. By doing so, you will not be committing yourself but rather just put in contact with the TroppoDoc Team.
For volunteers who may not be able to travel but still would like to help, TroppoDoc is always in need of sponsorship for urgent projects.
FOR ANY QUERIES: Please go to the Contact Us page. In that section you will find details on whom is authorised to give information regarding any of the TroppoDoc team missions. Dr Derek can also be reached directly however internet access can often be limited in some of the areas he works in. We suggest that you go through the administrative team in the first instance.
ADVISORY NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE AND RETURNING VOLUNTEERS: Please ignore requests from other people to contact them directly re organising placements on TroppoDoc team missions, as they do not have any authority and may have the wrong information. All TroppoDoc volunteers MUST register on the TroppoDoc website, or will not be considered part of the TroppoDoc team.
Make sure you follow us on Facebook with the only official page TROPPODOC. We are also on Instagram and Twitter.
We look forward to hearing from you!!!

Expertise Engineering Help Required
Is there a philanthropic Civil Engineer who wishes to help advise Bishop Donald here in Mendi how to build buildings smarter? Several houses and a convent on Catholic grounds collapsed and they will be rebuilt- but with more earthquake resistance would be wiser. Bishop Donald is happy to supply free accommodation and meals to willing Engineer. Conversely communication can be by internet. Please contact me or a TroppoDoc Contact on "Contact Us” page here on website. Thank very much.

Apology
TroppoDoc apologises for lack of regular Malawi updates due to personal restraints concerning communication being placed on Dr Derek. Hopefully this is no longer a problem now and regular updates will follow as per usual. . . . "Sim and Aly, volunteers from New Zealand, arrived last night as expected, to join me as the TroppoDoc team. Hilda (my guardian daughter) and I are well. Seeing 60-80 patients a day.”
