After a treacherous ride through dirt roads, dried up river banks, and lush forest, eight of our providers made it safely to El Lajal, where we spent the day ensuring that villagers had refills on their medications, glasses for those with visual impairment, PAP smears, dental cleanings, and deworming treatment. During our visit, we were able to stabilize a sixty-year-old woman in diabetic ketoacidosis. The second half of the group consulted in San Ignacio. Over one hundred patients were treated, including an eight-year-old patient who had a severe head injury and required multiple sutures. Tomorrow we head to Gigante and Las Pilas for our last clinic day!
