Jamaica Medical Mission
Donation protected
Hello everyone! I wanted to thank you for visiting this site and considering donating to our medical mission to the town of Falmouth Jamaica.
The Falmouth methodist clinic is a sustainable, longitudinal primary care clinic serving the Parish of Trelawny on the north coast of Jamaica.
The Clinic has been in continual operation since the inaugural mission in 1990. Since that time, hundreds of medical mission trips have been performed. Numerous medical schools send students and residents down.
Each mission provides a medical visit for Jamaican patients for just 2 U.S. dollars (to cover electricity and water for the clinic) and patients receives free medication afterward. The clinic serves as primary care office for over 5000 patients.
The need in this area for medical care is tremendous. There is no public safety net in Jamaica for medical care. The average patient in Falmouth may earn 27 dollars a week, and unemployment rate is 16%. Our clinic provides much needed low cost medical care to this area.
Currently, the clinic has enough team support that patients at the clinic can have ongoing continuity every month during the dry season and every couple months during hurricane season.
Because the Falmouth clinic has been so successful, we are expanding our outreach to the rural areas of Trelawny parish and neighboring St. Ann's parish.
All donations will go directly to costs:
Specifically they will go toward
Purchase of medications
Wound care supplies
Covering costs of sub-specialty referrals for select patients.
Transportation costs for Echocardiogram tech and Cardiology nurse
Our trip is in January of 2020.
This year I am excited that we are bringing the very first Cardiologist and OB/GYN to the clinic!
I want to personally thank you for your donation.
