Medical Outreach

The Village of Eden Medical Clinic partnered with a local sub-district medical center to do a Medical Outreach at a local village.

We provided the following services for free to the community:


  • HIV testing
  • Malaria testing
  • Diabetes Screening
  • Malnutrition screening
  • Immunizations
  • Counseling
  • Medicines to treat HIV or malaria

We also shared the Gospel in small groups, individuals and to the crowds that were waiting to see the doctor.  

After a long, hot, dusty day in the sun, we had seen over 350 patients!  It was a wonderful way to help the people in need and to share the Gospel.

But, I know pictures say more than words, so check these out.
The village of Buduma B

They kept coming all day!
Preparation
I struggled all day to keep Anna dressed.

First, they received a sheet with a number
Then, they were checked in


The Gospel was shared with them while they waited to be checked in

Next they went to Lab

We had rapid diagnosis tests for HIV and malaria



Add caption
All the tests need are a drop of blood!



Some of the local kids - they hung around all day
We also had Immunizations

We weighed and measured the babies


If the patients needed meds, they went to see Dr. Henry

We also provided counseling









We also had a team giving away gifts

Toothpaste, shirts, shoes, necklaces, candy, bug spray, lotion, . . . .


This baby got new shoes!

Fred was sharing the Gospel with the kids

I was one of the coordinators or problem solvers.  This is the obligatory picture of me (for my mother)
