Dyer Rural Hospital (Jungle Hospital)

The Jungle Hospital’s geographical focus is the mountainous region known as La Cuenca Cangrejal, the Cangrejal Cove. This covers more than 1,000 square miles of jungle just south of La Ceiba, and is home to more than 15,000 villagers. The Jungle Hospital in the village of Rio Viejo, is implementing the comprehensive healthcare model developed by Healing Hands Global. This healthcare model includes community and hospital-based initiatives. Community-based initiatives include medical and dental brigades in outlying villages, dietary and hygiene education in local schools, as well as community development projects. Hospital components include current inpatient and outpatient healthcare, women’s health, a future labor and delivery ward, along with programmed surgeries, and diagnostic as well as emergency services.
