2006 Costa Rica & Panama
UT College of Nursing International
Medical Mission
On this trip we traveled between Costa Rica and Panama offering free health care to impoverished villages. We provided health care services
to over 400 patients (including free medications), immunized over 200 infants
and children and provided dental services (including extractions, fluoride
treatments, and cleanings) to 75 patients. We also conducted health education
classes for disease prevention, proper nutrition, management of chronic
illnesses, etc?
