Eager to get to started, the GivingMore team was up and out early for our first two days of clinics. Each day we split into two teams assigned based on the needs of the population. On day one, Team A headed to El Ramate and Team B headed to San Ignacio (who arrived safely minus a van grill that was lost in a high water crossing). El Ramate is extremely remote and we worked in the home of a local who opened up their homes to the public to receive our care. On day two we visited the communities of Astillero and Las Canas.
The health issues we treated were vast and varied. They included upper respiratory infections, diarrhea, UTI, rashes, gynecological issues, hyperglycemia, and high blood pressure. In addition, we treated several unique cases that grabbed the attention of everyone on the team including a very sick pregnant patient who required hospitalization and the removal of a foreign body from a child’s ear. The team also offered cervical cancer screenings, reading glasses fittings, and dental services.
In total, both groups saw and treated over 400 patients.
Tomorrow we head to the community of Nancimi so stay tuned!
