The program’s milestones:
[/trx_title][vc_column_text]1). We have delivered increased knowledge and interest in Pediatrics acute care in partnership with the local Ministry of Health.
2). Emphasis in the rural community has revitalized the interest of local community health workers especially in areas of improving neonatal survival in the first “Golden Minute” of life.
3). A cadre of young health workers including pediatricians have been inspired and reenergized to focus more in the health of the underserved rural community.
4). We delivered much needed medical equipment and supplies to a rural clinic currently managed by MVP with the cooperation of the Ministry of Health.
5). In 2008, President George Bush invited us to the White House to honor our volunteer work as I blogged here:
6). We have made multiple trips in the past few years to Nigeria in partnership with Physicians for Peace and MVP plans to expand its reach to the Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago and indeed to the local Tidewater, Virginia.
7). We constructed and furnished a Medical Visions for Peace center in Elele, Rivers State, Nigeria.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
