Recent Kokoda Deaths

We are saddened by the news of the deaths of two trekkers in the last week on the Kokoda Trail.  To our knowledge, the cause of these deaths remains unknown.  Adventure Medicine supports proper physical preparation and thorough medical checks prior to embarking on the challenge of the Kokoda Trail.  However, while the cause of these deaths and others before them remain unclear, it would be pure speculation to blame the lack of medical checks or physical preparation.
