Healthcare
In Guatemala, chronic child malnutrition is the highest in the Western hemisphere. Often exceeding 80% of the population, it leads to stunted growth and poor brain development.
We hold clinics each team trip to:
-
Provide the detection, treatment, and prevention of disease to promote health.
-
Treat patients for both acute and chronic diseases.
-
Provide fluoride varnish to the children every six months.
-
Distribute medications as needed.
And we provide training to:
-
Health workers in every village.
-
Midwives using internationally-recognized materials.
-
Teach the value of vitamins and proper nutrition.
