I Established
in 1998
This was the first GEMINI country.
There have been almost a dozen GEMINI trips to Guatemala over the last
8 years. We are now awaiting approval of a large matching grant
that
will be the crowning achievement of the work. This grant will be
to
equip a training center in Quetzaltenango. It will have a budget
of
over $50,000.00. During the many trips to Guatemala the work has
made
substantial differences in the quality of health care provided and the
level of emergency medicine available to the people as well as the
ability to respond to natural disasters.
A report on the Stabilization Post Reanimation/pre-neonatal Transport (STABLE) program, which involved U.S. and Guatemalan experts and students in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, in April 2013 is now available. Click here to see what was taught to firefighters medical students, pediatric residents and students.
