Amazon/Puerto Narino (Medical, Dental)

MMI first travelled to Colombia in 2004, and today project teams aim to provide specialized vision services along with basic primary care and dental care. 

Our Dental Care Program provides a variety of services including fluoride treatments, sealants, dental cleanings, extractions, and restorative procedures on most our projects. Primary Care services include consultations, lab procedures, filling prescriptions, parasite treatments, sonograms, audiology screening, ear cleanings, and wellness checks.

The team will be staffed with North American volunteers, MMI Amazon, and involve local staff. Participants are expected to fundraise on behalf of Medical Ministry International to help raise the funds necessary to cover the budgeted costs of the Project Teams. These fundraising goal minimums include accommodations, meals, basic medical insurance, and malpractice insurance. Air fare is not included.

We have implemented rigorous biosafety, patient management, and project team safety protocols in response to COVID-19. Agreement to follow protocols will be required as part of the online application process. Current information regarding COVID-19 will be provided as Medical Ministry International monitors the global impacts of the pandemic.
