Medical personnel can expect to see upwards of 2,000 patients during the four days we are providing services. Most of these patients do not have immediate access to health care so they use a medical team, such as this, to obtain the services they need. Many of the patients will have general concerns with their stomach, skin irritation/rash, eye or hearing problems. There will be many women who are either pregnant or of child bearing age that will need a general check up along with their children. For all pregnant women, we provide vitamins to last through full term (iron, folic acid, calcium, etc) Sexually transmitted diseases are present. There have been cases in the past of more advanced situations, such as cancer, birth defects, tumors, cyst and broken/dislocated limbs In some cases we are able to help immediately by removing the cyst or help with the dislocated arm, but in many cases we will work with the locals to assist them in getting advanced care when possible.
