Health truck in the Savannas once again with MoH support.

The Rupununi Partnerships for Health (RPH) project is once again using collaboration to bring critical services to remote Guyanese villages. Pictured here is the RAM truck departing yesterday for three days of outreach to villages including Baitoon, Katu'ur, and Potarinau.

With dental and medical staff from the Ministry of Health, UK based medical volunteers and a crew from RAM Guyana, a truly comprehensive education and service package is in action. Supported in part by the CDC as an HIV prevention project, the strategy is to maximize every transportation dollar, offering other key services while fighting the stigma associated with HIV in the interior.

The new additions for this trip are the high speed dental drill, suction and coolant system on board along with 8'x8' clinic tents for patient privacy and HIV testing.

Medical volunteers from Guyana and abroad are encouraged to apply to volunteer with the RAM health truck.
