Live in the jungle and need colostomy bags?

A continuous supply of colostomy bags is what this resident of a Rupununi village requires to live a normal and productive life.  David (not his real name) received at least a few years worth thanks to the kind generosity of Raeleen Wilson PA and Dr Kathryn Duevel. 

Both RAM volunteers who have served repeatedly in Guyana, Raeleen and Kathryn are part of a world wide network of contacts that contribute specialized care and support for remote and isolated clients. 

David is part of the SPAN (Specialized Patient Action Network) program that is designed to overcome the geographic, economic, logistical challenges of accessing medical care from remote communities. 

David was happy to give consent to publish his photograph to detail the work of the organization through SPAN and the Ministry of Health.  Client confidentiality and security of medical records is of chief concern for Remote Area Medical Guyana.
