Medical Clinics
In February 2002,  Beatrice conducted the first medical clinic during the February Convention in Jeremie serving over
500 people having medical problems ranging from iron poor blood of expecting mothers, infants with very high fevers
and malnutrition, many common diseases and parasites, infections, diabetes, dental complications, and hyper acid
reflex among most adults from the stress of being unable to adequately meet the basic needs of their families.  These
multiple biannual clinics were of such tremendous help as statically, there is one medical doctor for every 25,000
Haitians.

Since October 2006, Faith Mission has been assisting with the needs in establishing a regular medical clinic in the Port
Au Prince area.  

We are now looking at the possibility of setting up a medical clinic in the Jeremie area.
