Our counterpart organization Mano a Mano Bolivia recently wrapped up its 7th “Soporte Vital en Trauma Prehospitalario” International Health Education Conference in partnership with volunteer medical professionals from the US & Bolivia presenting and providing training, with attendees traveling from throughout Bolivia to attend this workshop at Mano a Mano Bolivia’s offices in Cochabamba. These more advanced collaborative courses (30 to date) complement Mano a Mano Bolivia’s more frequent basic health education workshops (188 to date).
This April 2024 conference was in partnership with:
- Medical Educators For Latin America – MELA (especially from their Idaho contingent)

Providing Health Education is a Critical Component of Our Health Programs in Bolivia
A critical component of Mano a Mano’s health programs in Bolivia is to provide health education: to communities through weekend health clinics providing basic services; to Mano a Mano’s clinic staff through continuing health education workshops; and to medical professionals from other organizations. These programs are managed and administered by Mano a Mano Bolivia, and serve a complementary role to the construction of community clinics throughout rural Bolivia.
