Container Clinics Provide Treatment in Haiti

After Daniel’s exploratory trip to Haiti at the end of January, we have a medical team working there, treating patients on the Mission of Hope compound.

During his trip, Daniel was able to see all three of the Clinics in a Can that we sent this past year. The clinic for Mission of Hope had just arrived on site, after being delayed in customs, so he was able to help get it set up.

He also visited the two Clinics in a Can that we sent earlier this year, with help from many in the Wichita community, such as Wesley Medical Center, Hutton Construction, and many others. One of them is in Leogane and sees approximately 60 patients per day. The other, in a smaller town called Fondwa, is currently open 1 day a week, when a medical team comes, and sees about 75 patients every Friday.

Our current volunteer team is working on the Mission of Hope compound and consists of 4 medical professionals and 2 assistants. They arrived last Saturday and will be coming home this Saturday. Please pray for a successful, safe trip for them.

If you’re interested in joining our next volunteer team to Haiti this summer, call the Hospitals of Hope office at 316.262.0964 or email daniel@hospitalsofhope.org. If you’d like to help construct Clinics in a Can, call us or email info@hospitalsofhope.org.
