Medical Brigades at Birmingham

Mission To work with licensed medical professionals and community health workers to provide comprehensive health services in rural communities with limited access to healthcare. Our current focus is in Honduras, Ghana, and Panama. 5 Year Vision (2011-2016) Over the next five years we plan to mobilize 31,000 volunteers to facilitate healthcare in 95 communities, providing: 850,000 consultations, 212,000 preventative procedures, and 200,000 hours of health education. What is a Medical Brigade? Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Between brigades our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
