Panama bridges North and South America, with costal areas on the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. While reforms have encouraged economic and social growth, nearly 4 out of 10 Panamanians live in poverty.
Although government-sponsored health care is available in urban areas, lack of transportation and resources leave large rural populations almost completely without access to medical and health services.
That's why AmeriCares delivers medicines and medical supplies to support health care for rural and impoverished people in Panama.

Medical and Humanitarian Aid
Since 1986, AmeriCares has delivered more than $72 million in medical and humanitarian aid to Panama. AmeriCares works in partnership with the Panamanian Association of the Order of Malta to distribute medicines and medical equipment to hospitals, health centers, daycare centers and orphanages throughout the country.
AmeriCares and the Order of Malta also supply medical outreach missions. Medical outreach missions bring health care to isolated populations in the Panama's most remote regions.
Teams of medical professionals carry donated medicines and supplies to isolated rural communities that cannot access health services. Medical outreach provides community members with consultations and treatments in general medicine, optometry, pediatrics, nutrition and dentistry.
