HondurasOpportunity provided by
Focuses on educational services and leadership training based in communities, transforming them spiritually, economically and physically, including through organizing medical outreach programs and surgical missions.
Overview
Medical brigades bring temporary and basic clinics to the communities that would not otherwise have these services. The brigades offer free doctors’ consultations, medication, eye exams and glasses, dental assistance, and occasionally specialized care. The clinics always function in collaboration with local health professionals.
We host 10-15 medical teams each year, serving between 900 to 1000 people in each brigade. Temporary clinics are set up in remote villages in order to provide a check-up and the necessary medications for each patient. Vision checks and dental services are provided when teams brings the personnel and resources. Teams generally consist of 15-20 people, including medical professionals and others who serve in non-medical roles. Most people living in these remote villages do not have access to medical care, making medical brigades one of our most powerful tools for opening doors in communities to sharing the Good News of Jesus.
Contact us if you have any questions or would like to get more involved with the work we are doing here in Western Honduras.
