Rupununi Partnerships for Health (RPH) Truck in Action

Sylvania, Ryan, Natasha and Apollo are pictured here boarding the Bedford 'Bush Truck' for a multi-discipline outreach mission to the North Rupununi. These young Guyanese health professionals are the next generation of providers who deliver the critical services to some of the most isolated communities in the country.

The truck well stocked with mobile clinic supplies including tents, generator, edutainment and sound system, and folding furniture is set up to hold a clinic and esducation sessions just about anywhere - including the Karupukari crossing and the busy logging camps.

The RPH project is designed to deliver HIV prevention and testing in partnerships with a full range of other health services. After picking up a team from the Annai Health Centre, the crew will include: A physician, a Dental technician, a Tuberculosis technician, pharmacy assistant, eye specialist, HIV councilor and tester, driver, and volunteers to conduct the health education.
