FOR HOPE ONLY
The medical clinic FHO is a free clinic to the people of Haiti. We strive to provide basic prenatal care and well-child care, and hope to treat any acute needs such as infections, arthritis, gastritis, headaches and other conditions. Additionally, we provide education on treatment and prevention of common diseases.
When we visit, we train community health workers in basic medical procedures and techniques so that the people can maintain health without outside doctors and nurses. Ultimately we plan to build a clinic in each province that we serve, which would be staffed by Haitian health care providers. FHO would like to partner with the Haitian Ministry of Health to this end. We also created a partnership with Americares Medical Outreach medicine programs at Stamford CT.
The purpose of the FHO medical team is to give hope and let the people of Haiti know they are not forgotten.
FHO does not give free handouts; instead, we focus on teaching principles and showing examples so that one day, the local people will no longer need our help. Make a major difference in the lives of others.
