Help for Timor
A Red Cross medical team will leave New Zealand this week to spend a month in East Timor. The team would probably be based in the capital city of Dili, said the secretarymanager of the Canterbury Red Cross Centre (Mr R. J. Lipscombe). It will be led by a surgeon from the Taranaki Base Hospital, Mr Alistair Grant, who also served with the New’ Zealand medical team in Vietnam. Mr Grant will be assisted by- Dr Murray Ffossbenoer, of Dunedin, and Dr J. Roper, of Murupara. The team was assembled after an appeal for medical aid in East Timor by the International Committee of Red Cross. Mr Lipscombe said fares and accommodation expenses would be paid from the Red Cross Society* disaster fund. |
