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.
