This region, Santa Apolonia, Guatemala, has a population of 40,000 with access to only one doctor.  Even when residents are able to make the long commute to the doctor, they are often ill-supplied with equipment and medicine -- leaving the patients untreated and empty handed.<\/div><div><h3><strong>Clinic Logistics and Details<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div>GHR volunteers will conduct 3 full-day medical clinics at villages in the beautiful highlands region of Guatemala (specific locations will not be disclosed for security reasons).  Volunteers will be given all supplies (equipment and medicine) necessary to provide medical services.  Logistics (transportation, translators, food, water, etc.) is all handled by GHR so that volunteers can focus on patient care and education, and having an experience of a life time!<\/div><div><h3><strong>Guatemala Medical Mission Cost<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div>To cover the costs of this trip, GHR requires a minimum donation of $975 (does not include air travel to and from Guatemala City).

GHR then makes a strategic plan with the community and local NGOs to develop a schedule of multiple visits of various lengths to the area. One of the most important factors for long-term health of a community is the community\u2019s intrinsic desire to improve their own health; if the community does not work to improve their health, our services may only make marginal improvements at best.  Our goal is to work with the community to bring progress and to reach a point at which they no longer need our aide.<\/p>","slug":"global-health-reach","salesforce_id":"0016100000Sy0QDAAZ","created_at":"2016-04-01 04:24:35","updated_at":"2016-04-01 04:32:02"},"type":null,"media":[{"id":1008,"model_id":640,"model_type":"App\\Mission","collection_name":"default","name":"unspecified-5-1024x678","file_name":"unspecified-5-1024x678.jpeg","disk":"media","size":138994,"manipulations":[],"custom_properties":[],"order_column":1005,"created_at":"2017-07-07 01:21:49","updated_at":"2017-07-07 01:21:49"}]}]
