Vanuatu: Doctor Mark to the Rescue

Lying to the north of the Vanuatu archipelago in the South Pacific, the Banks Islands are literally cut off from the world.

He is the only one who can land on the unlikely and dangerous airstrips of these tiny volcanic islands to visit a patient or even operate on people on the bare ground.
