Health Center
Honduras is facing increasing spiritual, social and
health care needs that must be met. Restoration Church
as a vital part of the community decided to take
responsibility to provide health care to improve the
quality of life of the inhabitants of 16 communities
in the Baracoa county.
Why
a Health Center?
| Only three government-funded hospitals in the Puerto Cortes'
suburban area |
| Lack
of financial resources on most of the inhabitants of
this area to have access to medical care, medicines
and all other expenses related to it (transportations,
lodging, meals, etc) |
| Hospitals
lack the equipment, supplies and personnel necessary
to provide care and/or people can not afford the care
needed. |
| 50-70%
of an average family of 6 are under 15 years old |
| Housing
and land are extremely depreciated because of continuous
flooding so people have little or no
collateral for major medical or hospitalization care. |
| 80%
of the population has at least one basic need that has
not been met (food, shelter, health, transportation,
education, etc) |
| Sanitary
conditions do not meet basic health standards for
living. |
