Description

Papua New Guinea is ‘The Land of the Unexpected’. Surely no one has written a book on PNG quite like Singsings, Sutures & Sorcery. 
This story begins in the late 1950s, when as a medical student the author is dropped into an isolated enclave of Europeans surrounded by mountains in the Central Highlands of New Guinea. Four years later, he returns, going on to establish comprehensive training programmes in rural medicine, while serving as the only doctor for 50, 000 people.

Author

He has been a consultant in International Health and Development for over forty years and was the Foundation Professor of Primary Care and Community Medicine for twenty years at Flinders University.
