Vaidam & Apollo Hyderabad Bring Oncology and Cardiology Experts to Vanuatu

Access to specialised healthcare remains a growing need for many patients in island nations, especially when it comes to cancer and heart-related conditions that require expert evaluation. To help address this gap, Vaidam Health, in collaboration with Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, successfully organised an Oncology and Cardiology Camp in Vanuatu at The Medical Centre, Port Vila, on 18th and 19th May 2026.

Conducted from 10:00 AM to 06:00 PM over two days, the OPD camp enabled local residents to consult experienced specialists from India for cancer and cardiac concerns without the burden of travelling abroad. The initiative focused on bringing timely expert guidance closer to patients while improving access to specialised medical opinions.

Vaidam Health Continues Expanding Access to Specialised Care

The successful completion of the oncology and cardiology camp in Vanuatu demonstrates the importance of international healthcare collaborations in improving access to specialised medical expertise.
