PREP MODE!
Sunday was all about learning, unpacking, organizing, and getting ready for clinic. We rolled up our sleeves and worked as a well oiled machine.
And thanks to YOU, our incredible supporters, we have a lot to work with!
💊 $16,000 in pharmaceuticals were purchased for this mission.
Which means…
📦 Count.
📦 Sort.
📦 Pack.
📦 Count again.
📦 Pack some more. 😂
Every medication was carefully organized and prepared for the patients we’ll be serving.
But preparation wasn’t just about medications.
We spent the day learning about the culture, the community, the needs, and the logistics of setting up and running a medical clinic in Utila.
We learned that the people of Utila have been without Metformin, A medication needed to help manage Type 2 Diabetes. We have brought over 3000 tablets to share!
In the afternoon we had a chance to take a golf cart ride to the clinic to set up our stations for the week. The total absence of cars is replaced by an abundance of scooters and motorcycles that whizz by at high speeds without warning. ⚠️
