More information

 

Since 1992 Faith In Practice has expanded to provide continuity of medical care to the poorest of Guatemala. Currently, our medical teams travel to the most remote and poorest parts of Guatemala, setting up temporary clinics in rural villages. Working side by side Guatemalan volunteers, our medical teams provide general care and make referrals to the Obras, now a hospital that houses five state-of-the art operating rooms thanks to Faith In Practice supporters, and to four additional smaller hospitals throughout Guatemala. Patients now have a safe and pleasant place to stay at our guesthouse, the Casa de Fe, while awaiting and recovering from surgery in Antigua. Our public health initiative has seen the development of the VIA/Cryo Program designed to train Guatemalans to identify and treat pre-cancerous cervical cells. We have developed a Preventative and Restorative Dental Program. Through these programs, our more than 900 dedicated volunteers served more than 20,000 patients in 2010.
