What would you do in the middle of the jungle in Papua New Guinea if you had an injured youngster with a fever, no doctor in the community, no pharmacy within walking distance, and no suitable medical supplies either?

Volunteers like you used MapSwipe to identify grass airstrips in Papua New Guinea so medical aid groups like MSF could more effectively reach rural communities.
