Southeast Missouri State Medical Brigade August 2018 Honduras
Medical Brigades at Southeast Missouri State University
Brigade Information
Dates: August 01 - August 07, 2018
Country: Honduras
Southeast Missouri State University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. In the past we have worked in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, but yearly, we have a choice of working in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. The people we work with would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. In conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring. The goal of Global Brigades is to empower communities to the point of self sustainability while providing students with an eye opening experience. To learn more, please visit www.globalbrigades.org.
