Health Fair!

Health fair, feria de salud, in barrio Sandino! I work with a group of 20-ish women in this neighborhood. So, when ever MINSA, the Ministry of Health, goes to work in the area I like to tag along.

For the average health fair we bring a general practitioner, a dentist, a few nurses and a gynocologist.

You can see the line of people waiting outside the school to see a doctor. I like to talk to the people waiting in line. Maybe give a small class to the children about how to wash your hands. Maybe give a class to the adults on HIVaids. We bring speakers, music and handout with information on them with us. So, it makes it a little bit more fun for the people waiting. A little bit more fun for me!

Check out my white board art! Cholera . . .

El Centro de Salud, Guillermo Matute

Hello everyone! So I thought it was about time I got down to it and let you see the health center I work in. If you happened upon the mountains of Jinotega and found yourself with Dengue perhaps, you would come here! And, I very well might be giving a small lecture to you, the patient. Check it out!

Twice a week I give a 10 or 15 min class to the patients waiting for thier appointments. I like to cover themes like HIVaids, Dengue, Malaria and Cholera.
