Medical Clinics - what we offer

Medical Clinics in Remote Villages

COMMIT organizes 6 to 7 medical clinics annually in some of Nicaragua's most remote villages. These clinics provide crucial health services to underserved communities, ensuring access to care that might otherwise be unavailable.

Services Offered

  • Medical Exams: Comprehensive health check-ups.
  • Well Check-Ups: Preventive health assessments for early detection of illnesses.
  • Dental Care: Basic dental exams and treatments.
  • Vision Checks: Eye exams and provision of glasses when needed.
  • Health Teaching: Education on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.
  • First Aid Training: Empowering communities with the knowledge to handle medical emergencies.
  • Medication Distribution: While medicines are provided when necessary, COMMIT adheres to a “do no harm” philosophy, focusing on education over reliance on medication.

Impact

  • These clinics not only address immediate health concerns but also equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to maintain their health.
  • The outreach builds trust and fosters a sense of community empowerment, reinforcing the importance of health and well-being in these remote areas.

COMMIT remains dedicated to providing sustainable healthcare solutions to improve the quality of life for those in need.
