This Healthcare project was designed to provide access to specialized health care services for women living in the rural community of La Ceiba, Nicaragua. Through the hiring of a Nicaraguan OB/GYN to work at the local clinic in La Ceiba, HOLA provided access to obstetric and gynecological services that had previously been out of reach for many women living in the area. With the support and generosity of our donors HOLA has been able to raise in excess of $12,000 via the GlobalGiving platform. These donations have ensured that what started as a pilot program in May, now has enough funding to remain operational for a minimum of two years. Thank you!
Since May, our OB/GYN has conducted 191 patient consultations at the clinic in La Ceiba. The clinic serves as the third location in HOLA's women's healthcare program with the organization also employing OB/GYNs to work in the rural communities of La Leona and Chacraseca. In total, our doctors conducted 1448 patient consultations in 2021, a record for the organization. Our goal in 2022 is to expand operations to a fourth location, improving access to specialized health care services to upwards of 2,000 women. All future donations will go to securing the future of the La Ceiba clinic and helping HOLA expand this initiative into a fourth community.
