Off-campus, El Ayudante facilitates medical teams’ service to many communities in the León area. Our teams have provided general medical care, dental care, optometry, and ob/gyn care. We also facilitate:
teams of medical and nursing students
surgeons, obstetricians and pediatricians desiring to work in MINSA’s teaching hospital with resident doctors.
Medical teams need only bring themselves, their tools and supplies, and medicines. El Ayudante will coordinate the clinics with Ministry of Health officials and community leaders while providing interpreters, transportation, tables and chairs, fans and a generator, if needed.
Medicines and medical supplies are easy to bring into the country if the documentation is completed correctly and on time. El Ayudante has many years of experience facilitating medical teams, and when the procedures are followed, we have not had any problems with importation.
We serve a variety of communities and populations with our medical brigades:
rural areas of less than 4000 people that do not have a health post nearby
clinics specifically directed at the handicapped
poor urban communities that do not have sufficient doctors and medicines to attend to their population
communities where MINSA has scheduled a health fair designed to promote health and focus on prevention of disease
communities where El Ayudante is working holistically to improve education, basic living conditions, and equip churches.
