Syracuse Global Medical Brigades



  • About
    Medical Brigades at Syracuse University is directly part of the world\'s largest student-led global sustainable health and development movement. The Syracuse chapter systematically works with more than 400 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran Ghanaian, Nicaraguan, and Panamanian community members annually.

    Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.

Syracuse University Medical Brigade January 2017 Panama


Volunteer Activity Description
Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. 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.
