Global Medical Brigades
Taking a break from filling orders in
the pharmacy to hang out with some of the village kids who were excited
to see the brigaders.
-
GMB's mission is "to provide sustained
healthcare relief to underserved communities throughout the world"
-
Spring USC brigaders traveled March 2008
-
Gathered medicine for trip - thank you to
all who donated funds and medicine!
-
Traveled
to rural areas around San Pedro Sula and Tegucigulpa, Honduras
setting up "brigades" (temporary health clinics) where people
could
come and receive medical treatment free of charge
-
Spent most of my time working triage (to
find out the symptoms of each patient) and pharmacy (filling doctor's
orders and explaining to patients what their medications were for and
when/how to take them) during brigades
-
Collaborated with Sociedad Amigos de los
Niņos, whose mission is "to provide a nurturing environment for the
neglected and impoverished children of Honduras, taking care of
their basic needs and at the same time helping them to grow, achieve
and fulfill their dreams."
-
Visited local orphanages and spent time with
kids
-
U.S. Executive Director: Kathy Stolarz
