Montepò is a tiny community indigenous on the banks of the Putumayo River and that's where a few days ago we launched the project consisting of missions carried out by a river "Medical team flying." It is a river ambulance, a boat that will provide missions with two doctors and two nurses.
The community of the shores of the Río Putumayo and San Miguel, border rivers, are directly affected by armed conflict in Colombia.
communities have exclusive access to the river, with very little support in terms of development of access roads, utilities, and a limited state presence.
fontiera fact throughout the emergency is constant and almost non-existent public services.
for being in the middle of the border area also have security problems, there is a massive presence of refugees and the percentage of Colombians currently residing and at least forty percent.
In the area there are only two doctors' surgeries, often too far away and expensive to reach for the poor inhabitants of the area.
With this project, physicians will provide free tours to the entire population, Ecuadorian and Colombian, pausing for a whole day in each community at least once every two months and will also have a direct link with the two health promoters residents each of the same community, who are forming in the meantime by another project on issues of emergency prevention and other health issues (HIV, SSR., etc.). ..
A total of 28 destinations to reach a total number of beneficiaries of about 3,000 people.
