Touro School of Osteopathic Medicine Medical/Dental/Public Health hybrid Brigade Nicaragua December 2014



Jackie's Message

Hey guys, I need your help!! In mid-December, I will be traveling to Nicaragua on a medical mission for a week with a small group of fellow medical students. As part of the project, we will be building bathroom, toilet, and sink for the natives who never had such facility we often take for granted. We will also be building and providing medical care facility to the surrounding underserved communities. As volunteers, we are responsible for purchasing and supplying all medical equipment and supplies. As such, we are in need of your financial support. Any amount (even if it's couple of dollars) you can donate towards the cause will greatly be appreciated and will be used to purchase medical supplies and medications. The people that we will be helping are living in conditions of very minimum medical service and are in dire need of helping hands. With your donation, I will be traveling and helping these people out on your behalf.
Furthermore, your donation will be of great personal support as I make my journey to a foreign country on part of the globe I have never been to in my life - especially during this hectic time of airport security.

Thanks so much!

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7 day Medical Brigades for volunteers to participate in throughout the year. During a medical brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
