A group of fifteen professionals from various North American cities traveled to El Salvador to provide health care services to the people of Nueva Trinidad and its surrounding communities. The Nueva Trinidad Health Clinic worked along with the group from Canada in the implementation of the two- week program. We brought over close to two thousand pounds of medical supplies into El Salvador to assist those in need.
The purpose of the trip was to help a community with limited access to health care. Through the clinic we provided medical care to 800 people. Our primary objective was to educate people in many aspects of their daily living; this includes dental care, proper hand washing and dietary needs. In addition, the team also assessed individual patients and provided the appropriate care to each individual case. The team provided shoes, lenses and distributed free medication to patients as deemed necessary.
