WELCOME!This blog has been created to provide a forum for individuals interested in discussing issues associated with our efforts to establish one or more medical missions to Haiti.
Your comments and suggestions are encouraged and welcomed!
I have visited our parish in Haiti only once (thus far). In this rural parish (St. Elizabeth de Perodin), most of the basic medical needs of the people are served by a clinic which is run by the French-based InterAide. Primary care, preventive medicine, pre-and post-natal care for mothers, and health education services are available. Any major medical issues require the transport of patients down the mountain to more sophisticated medical treatment. Staff members also go out to more remote areas to extend these services. However, there are no dental services.
In our meetings with the Parish Council and discussions with the Pastor and some of his staff, it was made very clear that a dental mission was something that would be of great benefit to the people of the region. We also saw people with severe tooth aches, swollen jaws and in considerable pain.
