Panama: Americares Medical and Humanitarian Aid
GLOBAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Medical Outreach Teams Reach Underserved Rural Populations in Panama AmeriCares donated medicines and supplies to reach rural areas that are isolated due to their remote locations and poor infrastructure. AmeriCares and the Order of Malta supplied medical outreach missions to provide care for the indigenous groups that largely populate the country’s remote areas. During the rainy season, a village that once had a road might be accessible only by boat, but through this partnership, community members received consultations and treatments in general medicine, optometry, pediatrics, nutrition and dentistry. In addition, AmeriCares donated medicines and medical supplies also reached a broad network of hospitals, clinics and pediatric nutrition programs in both urban and rural impoverished centers. |
