“A successful mission abroad depends in part on your own experience, but mainly on the organization that will help you focus on direct medical care — assuring you have all the necessary equipments while at the same time providing you a safe environment.  In disaster relief, such as the Haiti Earthquake, this was primordial and NYCMedics was able to accomplish that.  My two weeks in Haiti was a heartbreaking experience, however, the mission was accomplished.”

Malawi Medical Needs Assessment

NYC Medics recently returned from Bowe, Malawi where they conducted a medical needs assessment for our partners, Orant Charities. Orant has been working north of Lilongwe, in Bowe, since 2007 with the Missionaries of St Paul Society.  In addition to their efforts of repairing and installing clean water wells, Orant’s long term goals also include implementing a sustainable healthcare program to support Bowe and the surrounding, vastly remote communities.   This is where NYCM comes in.

This trip included formal meetings with the highest levels of government from the MOH, UNDP, USAID to the district officials, community leaders, and various local and INGOs.   These meetings provided NYCM with invaluable information that will allow us to thoroughly evaluate and develop recommendations on design and implementation strategies for Orant Charities.

The team also held three days of field clinics in Kasungu District treating nearly 1300 people.  The treated everything from pneumonia to malaria, schistosomiasis and leishmaniosis to dental and ophthalmologic issues.    Some of these villages were so remote that not even the local district officials knew of them.    NYC Medics, accessing the inaccessible.

“Greetings from Malawi. l just did a follow up to those villages we visited. The people are full of praises and thanks to you all. Your team accomplished so much and served so many lives.”  ~ Father Emmanuel
