This is our first visit to Zambia.  We will be working in villages near Ndola in the northern part of Zambia.  After landing we will drive about 60 kms to Kitwe where we plan to stay the first night. The clinic sites are tentatively planned to be about 100 kms from Kitwe. (More details coming.) Using local translators who speak the local dialects, part of the team will register patients and record simple patient histories on patient routing slips for later diagnosis by a team medical staff member.  Other members of the team may work with local translators in triage where blood pressure, pulse, glucose test results and other vital signs will be recorded along with further patient history. Some will be in the exam rooms with local translators where the MDs will make their diagnosis and record the recommended medical prophylaxis for the patient. At least one person will be testing vision for reading glasses Several people will work in the pharmacy where the prescribed medicines will be prepared and packaged along with instructions to the patients for when and how to take their prescriptions. Giving people the gift of free medical care is secondary to introducing them to Christ. Everyone will have the opportunity to witness the love of Jesus Christ and share their testimony. Care Providers Needed: MDs, PAs, NPs, RNs, Pharmacists, and other health care related personnel. In addition medical students and non-medical personnel with a heart for the people of   Zambia are needed as support members of the team.   Donations Needed for Medical & Vision Supplies:  To contribute toward the $3,500 needed for medical and vision supplies for this project, please contact the office (805) 434-3653 or donate online today.
