Student National Medical Association Medical Brigades

Student National Medical Association is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. In conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.

Sustainable Transition Fund

The Sustainable Transition Funds will be used for two related initiatives that help accelerate Global Brigades' ability to transition its relationship with community partners from doing brigades to one of follow-up and consulting with local technicians. 1) Clean Water: Local Water Brigades teams work with government municipalities and community leaders to build full-scale clean water projects in communities. In Honduras, they will be building wells in communities where our traditional gravity systems will not work. In Ghana, they will be expanding the government's current piped system into communities it does not have the resources to access. Panama does not currently invest in clean water projects because of evidence that the local government will be gradually providing water on it's own accord. Since Nicaraguan operations just started, we are still just assessing patient data and strengthening community relationships to identify the best way to solve water challenges. In Honduras, for every $100, approximately one family will receive access to clean water piped into their home. 2) Microfinance (Community Bank Capitalization): This initiative infuses money in the community-owned "banks" that our Microfinance teams help establish and provide follow-up on. Once the funds are in the community, bank leaders issue loans to families for a variety of meaningful purposes, including: replicating public health infrastructure projects such as latrines and eco-stoves, education, health emergencies, and growing the businesses. All four countries have the capacity to strategically receive these funds. 100% of these donations will go directly into these community projects without a dollar going to overhead.
