Highlights of our 2025 Mission to Antigua Guatemala
The people served during this mission were primarily Mayan people who, for economic reasons, do not have access to health services. The team performed over 218 general and gynecological surgical procedures over the mission's two weeks. This included general surgery surgery procedures such as hernia repairs in adults, a surgery that enables patients to return to work safely and comfortably. Access to Gynecology surgery is very difficult for indigenous women in Guatemala – this year we were able to complete surgical procedures for over 61 patients. In addition to providing surgical procedures, the team operated a hearing clinic that served 141 clients. This included hearing testing, fitting ear molds and new hearing aids, and repair and programming of hearing aids.
Working with new colleagues who really cared and worked so diligently to bring services to people who otherwise could not access them was a highlight of the mission for me.
