Welcome To TroppoDoc
Volunteers Make Up The Organization Of TroppoDoc. 
TROPPODOCis one of the smallest Non Government Organisations (NGO) in the world, run by Dr Derek Allen.
Dr Derek Allen relies however on an army of volunteers, including nurses, surgeons, public health enthusiasts, dentists, medical students and anyone who is willing to lend a hand to get medical services to some of the poorest and healthcare-deprived populations in the world.
Dr Derek Allen is a New Zealand doctor who has dedicated his life to helping those in need in the Developing World focusing in Indonesia, Vanuatu, Africa, India, Papua New Guinea, West Papua and in Natural Disaster Areas.
VOLUNTEERS are essential to TroppoDoc in its commitment to helping those in need.
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!
Logically, with the cost of air travel, the most practical stay is for one month or longer - but you are welcome for shorter periods.
If you are interested and/or available to volunteer, please go to the Volunteer Database page and register.This is non-binding and simply puts you 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.
TO VOLUNTEER: Please see "Volunteer" page or contact Dr. Derek Allen - see "Contact Us" page for details.
Dr Allen enjoys communicating and responding to people directly, but email access can be limited. However, he can usually be contacted by txt (sms) or phone - refer to Contact Us page .
FOR ANY QUERIES CONCERNING TROPPODOC: Please contact either Dr Derek Allen (derekallen101@gmail.com) or Ian Cope (ian@copeelectrical.com.au). Other contact details for them both are on the "Contact Us" page. Thank you.

Apology
Due to unforeseen circumstances Derek's Journal has not been updated for a while and I apologise for this. I'm now in the process of updating Derek's many updates while he has been in India and hope to have these completed very shortly. We are also working on adding the many informative photos from Derek and our wonderful volunteers. You can see some of these on the official Troppodoc Group Facebook meantime, which can be accessed via the Facebook tab on the front page of this website. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
