Samuel Merritt August 2012 Medical Brigade Panama



Genina's Message

YOU CAN BE PART OF THE MISSION TO EXTEND HEALTHCARE TO PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WHO HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE RESOURCES! EVERY PENNY OR DOLLAR YOU DONATE GOES TOWARDS THIS CAUSE. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! PLEASE MAKE A DONATION! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
