Haiti Medical, Dental Mission Report
The team completed the 13th mission to our sister parish in Haiti. The traveling was hard thanks to American Airlines, we took 30 hours to arrive in Port-a-Prince. Then we immediately needed to load trucks and the bus and head straight out to the village without rest, we did not want to miss a day of clinic. That was the only down side to our trip. We were warmly welcomed by Fr. Daniel and the people of the parish. We saw the usual 2000 patients, several were sick, many healthy, and some dying we could do very little for. All were thankful that we came and Fr. Daniel wants us to come more often. The vitamins, Tylenol, and worm medicine packed by St. Mary's groups were distributed to all. The count was almost perfect, all patients left with a children's pack or adult pack.
Dr. Ben performed 41 surgeries (33 required spinal anesthesia). The dental area saw 217 patients removing over 500 teeth and were able to do a few fillings using a desert type paste.
A child we identified on the 2007 mission with a cleft lip was able to have her surgery this February. This mission there were two children with facial growths. Kathy Lakas is going to follow up with Hospice to try and get them into Port-a-Prince for CT scans. The way in Haiti is very difficult and slow.
