For new trainees, I thought it might be helpful to know exactly what the medical kit you are given contains. It covers all the basic, plus some. So don't waste precious packing space on redundant health needs.
The PC/Fiji Medical Kit contains:
Pain killers: UnAspirin, Acetaminophen, Tylenol, Ibuprofen
Benadryl
Sudanyl
Antiobiotics: Flucloxacillin, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin, Fasigyn
PeptoBismol and Antacids
Cough Drops and Sepasoothe Lozenges
Electropl (for heat stress)
Aquatabs (water purification tabs)
Hydrocortisone Cream
Bacitracin Antibacterial Cream
Clotrimazole cream (for fungal infections)
Sunscreen Lotion
Insect Repellant
Emergency Eye Wash
Hibiclens
Lipbalm with sunscreen
TempaDot (external thermometer)
Band-aids
Gauze
Medical Tape
Butterfly Tape
Condoms
Gloves
Dental Floss
Plastic Tweezers
Whistle
Scissors
Gatorade
Things I'd recommend to bring in addition:
A digital thermometer
Tweezers, metal with a very keen edge
Emergency dental repair kit (the kind at CVS)

Peace Corps
I was first invited to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kiribati in the South Pacific as a secondary educator within local schools.
However, due to non-emergency circumstances, my training group had to transfer to other countries.
I am currently working with Community Health Promotion in Fiji. I am working in the Ba Province on the West Coast of Viti Levu.
