Community service programs

Laboratory, Pharmacy and Medical Clinic (1991-present)

This program is open 5 mornings a week. The personnel consists of a doctor, who comes from outside the community, a nurse, a pharmacy assistant, a secretary, and a lab technician, who also comes from outside the community. The consultation with the doctor costs Q 13.00 (US$1.75). Some medicines are donated to us and others we buy from Proam, a government pharmacy, but we always try to sell the medicines at the lowest price possible so they will be affordable for the community.

The medical clinic coordinates its activities with the Children's Center and the Healthy Babies program. If a child is severely malnourished or dehydrated, he/she is referred to the Children's Center where he/she is taken cafe of and given follow-up treatment for as long as is necessary.

The current needs:

  • Medicines for sale in the pharmacy.
  • Disposable instruments for pap smears.
  • Modernize and expand the laboratory equipment

Thanks to Rotary Clubs from Paso Robles, Paso Robles-Sunrise and Atascadero, California, for the their recent donations of medical supplies!
