Medical
One of the programs that OIH provides on missionary trips to Bombardopolis is medical. OIH solely depends on volunteers, i.e. doctors, nurses and medical assistants, and donations of supplies, i.e. bandages, anti-bacterial ointments and inflammatory medicines, to provide this service to those who cannot afford even the basic medical care. Around 60% of people living in Haiti, mostly in rural places, do not have access to basic health-care.

Medical Clinic
The OIH church was converted into a clinic in August 2008 to provide
medical care to the people in the community who cannot afford regular
doctor visits or medicine

one of the patients
Debra (left), a nurse, was one of the volunteers
from Michigan to participate in the medical care
program. The boy (right) had significant
infections on his legs and feet that could've
been prevented with basic medicine.
Despite of
the severity of his condition, the boy did not
once complain but was very thankful.
Volunteers provided a pair of socks, which he
owned none, for
the boy to keep his feet clean
after treatment was performed. He was seen
the following day and was given more anti-
bacterial ointment for his wounds
