Faith In Practice conducts temporary annual medical clinics throughout Guatemala where healthcare is difficult if not impossible to access. Each clinic attends on average 1,200 - 1,300 patients over a four-day period.

 

Our U.S. Volunteer Medical Teams provide/staff the following services:

• Pediatrics

• Internal Medicine

• Family Practice

• Gynecology, Cervical Cancer Screening

• Mobility Clinic (medical checks, PT consult, distribution of wheelchairs/canes/ walkers)

• Full pharmacy

• On-Site Lab (EKG/ultrasound/ basic blood and urine analysis)

 

Medical Clinic Teams also refer patients for surgery. Surgical candidates are scheduled through our database to one of our surgical teams in Antigua or San Felipe. Travel, food, and housing costs are covered, and their Guatemalan volunteers accompany them throughout the process, staying with them at one of our patient guest houses and accompanying them home.
