Busy Week

The week was a jornada or medical group offering primary care to the town of Paquisha, and 5 of its surrounding rural <barrios> or villages.

The group itself was led by a nurse practitioner and retired faculty member from Idaho and altogether included 6 providers, 1 pharmacist, and 2 translators.


We offered medical exams, and a large assortment of medications and glasses brought from abroad.  It cost patients $1 each, inclusive of medications and eyeglasses.  

In all, we saw more than 1,100 patients in the week we were there!
