Short Term Medical Missions Abroad (STIMMA)

Education

"The only weapon needed to fight war, poverty, and oppression is education."
Dr Vijay Anand

Education is a big part of STIMMA’s objective. Part of our goal is to develop and promote public health in developing nations by educating, and instructing the public on prevention of and curative measures for health problems.

While in the Clinic, all patients partake in mandatory educational seminars. We have created presentations tailored to the Spanish speaking community. The sessions include instruction on dental care, stressing proper hand washing techniques, diet, Diabetes foot care and care of general ailments.

Everyone from the age of 5 and onwards participate in the hands on presentations.
