Hospital San Lorenzo Honduras C.A.

A fantastic group of fifteen medical students were in Honduras from March 29-April 3 helping to improve the medical system in Honduras. They worked in two Hospitals in the South of Honduras shadowing doctors, nurses and making improvements like the painting pictured above. The last day they operated a medical clinic in the town of Concepcion. They provided dental flouride and eye screening to over 300 kids and general medical exams and medicines to over 200 adults.

Central American Relief Efforts would like to thank them for their efforts! We hope to see a new group from Washington University St. Louis Med School next year.

In just four days, this team treated over 1,150 patients. The dentist pulled 90 teeth and 40 prescription glasses were provided.  School children all had flouride, dental education, and eye exams. Dental follow up will  be done by Honduran dental health professionals. This was an extremely productive trip!
Thanks to all the volunteers who committed time and resources to this project.
