It was a pleasant surprise to see a 20 year old girl walk into my clinic a few days ago.

A couple of years earlier, she had first come to see me with enlarged lymph nodes. Further investigations were arranged, including a biopsy. The histology results confirmed a diagnosis of lymphoma, a form of cancer.

To make a long story short, she was eventually referred to the Philippines for specialist treatment. There, she underwent intensive therapy, including a stem cell transplant. She remained in the Philippines for the past two years for treatment, monitoring, and follow-up care.

The financial cost of her treatment was substantial. Initially, her family and relatives carried much of the burden, and later the Solomon Islands Government provided valuable assistance to support her medical care.

Today, I am delighted to report that her cancer is in remission. She feels well, has regained her strength, and is looking forward to the future. She plans to resume her education next year by enrolling in Form 6 at SINU.

As a doctor, there are few rewards greater than seeing a young person overcome a life-threatening illness and return to a normal life filled with hope and opportunity. Witnessing her recovery was both inspiring and deeply satisfying.

To the best of my knowledge, she may be the first Solomon Islander to have successfully undergone a stem cell transplant. Her journey is a testament to courage, perseverance, the support of family and government, and the remarkable advances of modern medicine.

Wounds and woundcare.

Wound care represents a substantial part of the clinical services delivered at our clinic, alongside other essential primary and specialist health services. A significant proportion of our patients are living with diabetes and present with severe, infected wounds that place them at high risk of prolonged illness, disability, and amputation if not managed appropriately. In addition, we care for patients with chronic wounds caused by tropical ulcers, venous disease, and lymphoedema, conditions that are common in our setting yet often overlooked and under-resourced.

One notable case involved a gentleman who had suffered from extensive venous ulcers on one leg since 2011. Despite years of repeated antibiotic treatments and various dressing regimens, his wounds failed to heal. The wound persisted for more than 13 years. When he presented to Neo Horizon Surgery in October 2024, a structured, wound-care management approach was introduced. Through consistent follow-up and dedicated dressing changes over a period of nearly 12 months, the wounds eventually healed completely. He has since returned to daily life free from chronic pain, infection, and disability.

This case illustrates both the complexity of chronic wound management and the profound impact that sustained, well-resourced care can have on patient outcomes. Investment in structured wound-care services reduces long-term healthcare costs, prevents avoidable amputations, and restores productivity and dignity to patients and their families.

Support from donors and partners will enable the expansion of these services, improve access to modern wound-care technologies, strengthen clinical capacity, and allow more patients with long-standing, neglected wounds to achieve healing. Such partnerships represent a high-impact opportunity to deliver measurable health, social, and economic benefits to communities.

It fills me with immense pride to see my son, Dr. Fred Alastair Ba’erodo, standing beside Professor Sir Isi Kevau on the eve of the new UPNG medical graduates taking their Oath. Moments like this are powerful reminders of the legacy of great teachers who have shaped generations of doctors in our region.

Professor Sir Isi Kevau was among the pioneering cohort of Medical Graduates of the University of Papua New Guinea in the early 1970s. As Papua New Guinea’s first Cardiologist, he helped lay the foundation for modern cardiovascular medicine in the country. But his contributions extend far beyond clinical practice. For over five decades, he has dedicated his life to Teaching, Mentoring, and Training Medical Doctors (both undergraduates and postgraduates), and other healthcare professionals who form the backbone of PNG’s health system.

Most Medical Practitioners in Papua New Guinea and UPNG Medical Graduates in Solomon Islands and even across the Pacific, have been touched by his wisdom, whether in the classroom, on the wards, or through the ripple effect of those he has trained. His influence is woven into the fabric of medical education at UPNG.

As someone who had the privilege of being his student in the 1980s, I hold a deep respect and admiration for this extraordinary man. To now witness my own son learning under the same great teacher is profoundly meaningful. It feels as though a circle has closed, a passing of knowledge, discipline, and professional values across generations.

What amazes me most is that despite the passing of time, Professor Sir Isi Kevau’s passion for teaching remains undiminished. While many of his former students have retired or moved on, he continues to stand at the forefront, guiding and shaping the next generation of doctors with unwavering dedication and energy. His commitment reflects not only professional excellence, but a lifelong calling to serve humanity through education.

I offer my humble respect and deepest gratitude to Professor Sir Isi Kevau, a true giant of medicine in our region, a Teacher of Teachers, and an inspiration to us.
