Projects
Women’s Health and Pediatric Health: In 2007, MEDLIFE
is working with local organizations to help rural low income women gain access to
women's health related treatments. These will include increasing education
and access to papsmears and gynecological surgery. In addition, MEDLIFE
will be accessing levels of pediatric nutrition to identify at risk
children.
Dental
Health: Currently MEDLIFE works to bring a dentist to Ecuador
during its medical missions. In addition, MEDLIFE is working with a
local dentist to provide dental health care to villages.
Special
Needs: As needed MEDLIFE helps individuals with short term
health care needs. For example, if a child needs surgery MEDLIFE will
work with MEDVIDA (MEDLIFE in Ecuador), local professionals, local hospitals and other health
related organizations to get the child surgery.
