Medical Education Teams
| CAMO is founded on the belief that in order to foster growth
in the quality and spectrum of public health care in developing nations
it is necessary to make available both the equipment and supplies necessary
to treat patients as well as the technical skills to use them. For that
reason CAMO's main focus is to actively seek out medical professionals
in the U.S. who volunteer to share technical knowledge with Honduran counterparts
in medical fields requested by Hondurans. In this way we are sure that
the skills and tools CAMO volunteers bring to the table are the most appropriate
for each public health facility. CAMO volunteer physicians, nurses and
technicians spend one to two weeks in Honduras, pay their own way, and
take vacation time or leave without pay to participate in the development
of sustainable medical programs. Many of the men and women who donate their
time and skills with CAMO conduct fund raisers for their one or two week
stays and would benefit from a helping hand.
