Medical Chapter at University Of Ontario Institute Of Technology

About
University of Ontario Institute of Technology 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. To learn more, please visit www.globalbrigades.org.
The community at UOIT is in need of individuals interested and willing to travel to Honduras in August, 2018 in order to provide medical aid to the communities surrounding Tegucigalpa.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Natasha Ross (natasha.ross1@uoit.net) or Adam Gregni (adam.gregni@uoit.net).
