UNH Medical Brigade Panama JAN 2015



Jaclyn's Message

Hi, as some of you may know, I have been studying nutrition/dietetics at the University of New Hampshire. Recently, I was selected to go on a Global Brigade mission to Panama.
Through UNH Global Brigade I will be travelling down to Panama this coming January.
In Panama, I along with other students, will be setting up clinics to help underprivileged communities get much needed healthcare.
However, I will need to raise atleast $1800 to make this mission possible. Unfortunately, medicine and travel are expensive so any donations that can be made will be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
If you have any questions about my trip or donating feel free to message me here or via Facebook.

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigades of New Hampshire is a discipline of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The Medical Brigades of New Hampshire chapter systematically works with more than 350 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran, Panamanian, and Ghanaian community members annually.

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
