Philadelphia University Medical Brigades Honduras May 2016



Tanvi's Message

As people, our ultimate goal should be to help each other. As my contribution towards this goal, I am traveling with an amazing group of students to Honduras in May of 2016 with Global Medical Brigades to give others the gift of education about health related concerns in the country, that still exist even today. It is the work we do together that will create the difference so many of us talk about when bettering the world. Every cent, every dollar counts when contributing to the supplies and the cost of the journey to help children, adults, and even groups of people face the realities of taking care of their own health so that they can support themselves, their families, and perhaps also work with us in creating a better tomorrow. Building relationships with people all over the world is necessary when understanding the differences each of us faces in medicine. We need to start giving more, helping more, and teaching more so that as a group of people, we can give a better life to those who may not have the means to have one just yet.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. 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.
