North Africa/Middle East January 14 - 21/2017, SR1318
This very small, very strategic primary care medicine and dentistry team will work in a new government-sponsored health post in this nation. After arriving in the international airport and purchasing visas, the team will stay in a guesthouse, and travel a short distance to the clinic site each day. The residents of the area where the clinic is located are often recent immigrants, and are very poor. The government is seeking to provide healthcare for them, and has invited our team in to help.
Our national partners know the language and culture, and have excellent working relationships with the government authorities. While this is a new site for us, we anticipate repeat visits as we come alongside the government authorities as they meet the needs of this community.
The team will be bare bones - three primary care providers, a dentist, a nurse, a pharmacist, and a non-medical person to run a reading glass clinic. For more information about the location and work, contact the team leader, Andy Lamb, MD, at [email protected].
