July 2011 University of Maryland Medical Brigade

Start Date: Jul 31, 2011 10:00 PM
End Date: Aug 6, 2011 10:00 PM

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
