Team Ottawa:
Dominican Republic, Nov ‘24
From November 23 to December 1, 2024, Team Broken Earth’s Ottawa team will be providing care in Azua, Dominican Republic. This will be Team Broken Earth’s second time visiting this location – a region with a significant population of uninsured patients, including many Haitian refugees, who have poor access to medical care. We will be providing orthopedic surgical care for patients who would be forced to endure their pain and discomfort without our help.
One of the most rewarding aspects of these missions is the focus on providing sustainable, collaborative care. We provide not only clinical care, but also education to help improve the local knowledge and skills. Our team is keen to strengthen connections and provide tangible medical aide to those in need of it.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
