Results of the Third Medical Mission, April 11, 2012 (To Test Women for Cervical Cancer)
Thanks again to the generous donations from many adoptive families and the great support from our sister foundation Families for Familias, the Third Medical Mission was successfully held on April 11, 2012. A total of 47 women (out of 50 invited) were tested for cervical cancer. The name of the test is VIAA, and it was performed by Obras Sociales del Hermano Pedro, a hospital in Antigua Guatemala.
Asociacion de Familia a Familia covered all of the costs related to the clinic on April 11, 2012; such as: Transportation, lodging, meals, medicine, lab tests for all the 47 women, as well as subsequent treatments, ultrasounds, medicine, colposcopies, lab tests, cryo-therapies, transportation, meals and lodging. The work done up to May 4th is the following:
|

VIAA | 50 |
BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL INFECTION TREATMENTS | 32 |

CRYOTHERAPIES | 4 |
