Having problems with message search?
Katie;
Good to hear from you. This is an excellent article and highlights many of the issues we grapple with. We try to bring at least a 3 months supply of antihypertensive meds for each person in childproof bottles. We have also initiated a simple medical record system in Lazile, where we go every 6 months. We leave the records with the patients and the patients hang onto them and are great about bringing them with them the next time we come. I would LOVE to see someone organize the moble clinic effort so a group goes out to the same villages every 3 months. We could of course not visit as many places but would have a much mre significant, sustained impact on the places we do go to.
Has anyone out there had similar thoughts? Anybody ready to step up and organize?

Bonjour to all! I hope that this message finds all of you happy,
healthy, and blessed in this new year. I feel so very disconnected
from Haiti, although it is only on the other side of the island. I
also miss having regular contact with many of you, but as we all know,
time is never on our side!
I stumbled across an email this afternoon that sheds light on some very
valid points concerning medical missions and I wanted to share.
