September 2022 Guyana Women's Health Programs

By Joshua Brown | Fundraising Coordinator

Remote Area Medical is looking forward to returning to Guyana as soon as possible in order to continue providing free, quality healthcare to those in need. RAM has postponed international operations since COVID-19 lockdowns began in 2020. As the world starts to rebound from the limitations of the pandemic, and travel continues to open up, we are more hopeful than ever that a return to Guyana to alleviate the pain and suffering of the women there is imminent.

Because of donors like you, in partnership with GlobalGiving, the support we've received for this program has not wavered. Once we are able to travel safely and can deliver our health services to Guyana, your donation will help us provide care to a region that has been greatly impacted by COVID-19 and the economic downturn that has coincided with it. We appreciate all that you've done in support of our mission.

The goals for this program remain the same:

Providing free, timely, and consistent cervical cancer screenings
Giving HPV vaccinations and expanding the number of other vaccine offerings
Delivering diagnostic and preventative services to remote villages in Guyana
Partnering our volunteers with local healthcare professionals to bring essential care to the Amerindian population
Create more access to diabetes and blood pressure screenings for women
Increase the number and quality of pediatric and medical clinics

With your continued support, RAM will be able to deliver these crucial services as soon as possible. For all of you who share our desire to break down barriers to healthcare and relieve the suffering of people all over the world, we want to thank you.
