Organizations Filed Purposes:
Partner for Surgery enables the most impoverished in Guatemala to receive the care offered by volunteer surgical teams, by providing the community development & infrastructure that both the communities & the surgical teams lack, creating a bridge between them.
In the first months of 2020, two rural medical missions were carried out in January and February during which 683 people were evaluated of which 488 were identified as surgical candidates. Four surgical teams completed their time in Guatemala prior to the closing of the country on March 16 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. These teams completed 219 surgeries. At that point, staff was reduced from 9 to 4 and active health promoters reduced from 15 to 10, all focused on sustaining the Cleft Infant Nutrition Program (CINP). The CINP became the dominant program since the remaining 2020 scheduled surgical teams had to cancel their trips to Guatemala. With no CINP graduates, with transportation stopped throughout the country, and with 8 to 10 newborn babies added to CINP each month, the CINP program expenses increased significantly. At the end of December 2020, 220 infants in the CINP were receiving monthly visits and nutritional support. Many CINP families lost their jobs and Partner for Surgery had to assist with basic food supplies. Then in November 2020, two back- to-back hurricanes devastated homes, villages, and crops and Partner for Surgery again added family food assistance to the efforts in the CINP.
