Health for Humanity strives to improve the health status of the impoverished people of Guatemala and other developing countries.
We accomplish this by:
- Organizing multidisciplinary teams of volunteer healthcare professionals and support staff to travel to developing countries (at their own expense) to provide needed healthcare services.
- Collecting (by donation) the funds, medical equipment and supplies to provide these services and arrange their transport to developing countries.
- Providing surgical services at hospitals in developing countries in collaboration with the local hospital staff.
- Providing funding and other support to our partner NGOs in the countries we visit.
- Empower the people and healthcare workers of the countries we visit to meet their own healthcare needs through education and training.
- Work in collaboration with the local Canadian Embassy Staff, Governmental, other non-governmental organizations and the local healthcare community to identify other healthcare projects for which Health for Humanity volunteers can provide assistance.
- Remaining non-political.
- Interacting with clients in a respectful and non-judgmental manner.
