Summer was a busy time in the Central Plateau. Between over 5,000 patient visits at our health clinics, more than 50 births between our two maternity centers, and mobile clinic attendance upwards of 40,000, our staff doctors, nurses and community health agents worked hard to provide the best care possible to our patients. Patient visits range from preventative to diagnostic, as for many in this rural area, we remain the only source of healthcare.
Your support of our rural healthcare mission allows us to treat patients like nine-month old Cameciara. While under the care of a family member, Cameciara fell into a boiling pot of soup. When her mother, Rosemene, arrived home, she was shocked to see her daughter's badly burned face and body.
Rosemene immediately grabbed her baby and frantically walked 30 minutes to our clinic in Marmont, where she also previously received prenatal care and gave birth to Cameciara. Under the close supervision of Project Medishare's pediatrician, Cameciara is receiving the wound care and medication she needs to heal. We saw her a few weeks after her first visit to the Marmont clinic, and are thrilled to report she is happy, smiling and healing well.
We cannot express our gratitude enough for your continued support of our mission. On behalf of Cameciara, Rosemene, and the rest of our patients, we sincerely thank you.
