Doctors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Dentists, Hygienists, Lab Technicians, Pharmacists, support people and most importantly translators are all vital to the success of a medical trip.
Typically, over the course of a ten day clinic we would treat over one thousand patients.
Patients travel from neighboring communities. Many travel by foot for 5-6 hours only to wait 8 hours before our medical team assesses them. No one is denied care.
Patients who we are unable to facilitate are provided with the support needed to get the attention they require.
Nurses triage and assess the patients and those that need to, are then seen by the Physicians.
