LONG-TERM
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Batey Relief Alliance [BRA - www.bateyrelief.org] in collaboration with the Catholic Medical Mission Board [CMMB - www.cmmb.org] seeks volunteer licensed ophthalmologists, optometrists, pediatricians, internists, gynecologists, nurses and public health experts to run a mobile health care project in the Dominican Republic. The program will be in operation starting February 2003. We need your professional commitment for at least one year or more. The 30-foot mobile clinic is designed and fully-equipped to provide vision and medical care, and preventive health education to thousands of impoverished persons languishing in remotely located sugar cane communities known as bateys including those identified as Haitian migrant workers and their families. Basic health care in the bateys is virtually absent. Most cannot afford it because of money, racial discrimination or fear of deportation. The batey population generally lives in constant struggle without clean water, health education, food, sanitation or electricity. The results are high infant mortality, malnutrition, HIV infections, tuberculosis, malaria, sexually-transmitted diseases, diabetes, hypertension and blindness. Children born of undocumented Haitian parents in the Dominican Republic suffer the worst fate: they have no Dominican birth certificates. As a volunteer, you will not only provide direct patient care, but also collaborate with local health professionals and train practitioners. You will address immediate medical needs through direct patient care as well as through medical training to help upgrade the skills of local healthcare providers. Our ultimate goal is to help local personnel assume the role of providers as well as educators, so that they in turn can pass on their skills within the community. All the medicines, medical supplies and equipment you will need for your work will be provided to you free of charge. We will provide you with free room and board; medical and evacuation issuance; life insurance, including coverage for spouse and dependents; and, if applicable, malpractice insurance. You will also receive full health insurance, a modest stipend, paid travel expenses and visas assistance. Please apply today by contacting Ulrick Gaillard at bateyrelief@mindspring.com. We thank you in advance for your help. We hope to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ulrick Gaillard
