On February 9th, 2024 Mano a Mano provided a weekend health clinic (jornada) in San Pablo de Moxos, a small community of around 30 people in the department of Beni in the Bolivian Amazon.
On this jornada, 8 volunteer medical professionals participated: 3 dentists, 3 doctors, and 2 physical therapists. We were able to provide 32 people with dental care, with a total of 72 procedures; 36 people received medical care; and 8 people received physical therapy. With each visit, we also transport much-needed supplies, including medical supplies, mobility equipment, and general provisions that can be very difficult to acquire in isolated rural communities.
Mano a Mano Weekend Health Clinics
Mano a Mano’s aviation program has 3 primary programs working with Bolivian communities that have minimal access to health care and basic services:
- emergency rescue of ill and injured individuals, transporting them to urban hospitals for life-saving treatment;
- weekend clinics for which we transport volunteer health care professionals into remote areas to provide primary medical & dental care; and
- transporting medical supplies, mobility equipment, food, supplies, and other needed items to/from isolated communities.
