Tuesday, February 28

Today, we met the medical director who had arranged transport for us and our bags to the village. We briefly met our host family and then went to the clinic. It is the same clinic that we were at last year and an extremely basic clinic, with one full time doctor, Dr. Urrutia, and one temporary doctor who is completing her social service requirement.

Our clinic

There are two nurses and occasionally a dentist. There is an extremely basic pharmacy with about 40 medications. Today, we were oriented to the clinic and our expectations for the month. It was a day to catch up on paperwork at the clinic, so we did not do anything clinical. We returned to Leon at night to pick up some more supplies and make some last preparations.
