[...]decisions were made to target investment to four specific countries as being more likely to achieve sustainable transformational development, than spreading services too thinly across the region as was the case in previous years. The PPTC would also welcome teaching resources in terms of wall charts, haematology case studies (stained blood films), projector slides, textbooks and journals (within 10 years of publication) etc, for teaching purposes in the Pacific if you no longer have a use for them.
