We are excited to confirm our mission to Guatemala, September 18-22, 2023! This will be our first full surgical mission there, in partnership with the National Hospital in Huehuetenango and the Help the Children Clinic in Malacatancito. Volunteers will make their own arrangements to travel to Guatemala City (GUA airport) and meet up in a specified hotel there on Saturday the 16th. MMOM will arrange air transport from GUA to Huehuetenango the morning of the 17th and we will set up that afternoon. The medical portion of the mission will happen from Monday the 18th to Thursday the 21st. We will fly back to Guatemala City on the 22nd and from there volunteers can make the short trip into the beautiful and historic city of Antigua, sightsee elsewhere, or return home.
We need teams to perform and assist in general and specialized surgery (surgeons, anesthesiologists and techs, nurses), dentistry (dentists, hygienists, techs), optical (ophthalmologists, optometrists), occupational health, and general medicine as well as volunteers for logistics and data entry. We will collect names and qualifications of volunteers and will then build our teams later in the Spring based on mission needs.
Volunteers will pay their own expenses for the mission. MMOM will provide logistical assistance and coordination for travel, lodging, and meals within Guatemala. For questions, please email info@mmomusa.org or jon.wist@mmomusa.org.
