San Antonio de Oriente Healthcare Access

San Antonio de Oriente is a community located in the municipality of Francisco Morazán. The community has access to a local health known as a CESAR, the smaller of two types of health centers that the Honduran government provides. It only has one permanent nurse and rarely ever a doctor on duty. Should a visitor to the health center require more medical attention than can be given at the center, community members can travel by 1.5 hours by bus to the hospital in Tegucigalpa.

Community Demographics

San Antonio de Oriente is home to about 200 people and has about 30 homes, with an average of 6 inhabitants per home.

Brigade Site Information

Since space is limited in the health center, brigades are held at the school. Doctors spend an average of 10 minutes with each patient and volunteers are able to provide 5-6 educational charlas a day. Each brigade sees an average of 200 patients per day.

Current Community Initiatives

There are currently no initiatives taking place in San Antonio de Oriente.
