Another day, another hundred patients seen! Today we set up clinic at el centro de salud in Urubamba. It is a fully functioning clinic within walking distance from where we are staying. As a group we provided an additional resource for medical and eye care. Ultrasound and diagnostic testing was relied on heavily today and provided much needed insight for clinical decisions. In addition to celebrating our success today in clinic and ability to help those in need, we also celebrated two of our volunteers’ birthdays today! We had an amazing meal as an entire group and enjoyed many laughs (and lots and lots of food)! Tomorrow we are off to Marás! ¡Buenos noches!
Renaissance School of Medicine medical students Theresa Gammel and Kaitlyn Monroig obtaining medical histories for these patients in Urubamba. They will then be seen by one of our physicians.
