ForwardOne World Surgery: Leadership and Teambuilding
Activity description
The non-profit organization One World Surgery performs its charitable programs in two countries: Honduras and the Dominican Republic. In the Dominican Republic, limited resources and poor access to health care are especially evident in bateys (sugar workers’ towns), which are home to many Haitian immigrants and their descendants. The goal of One World Surgery is to fill the gaps in the public health care systems for both countries, help meet the needs of individuals who the public system does not have the resources to treat and ensure care is provided to those most likely to benefit. This activity will describe the goals of One World Surgery, recognize individuals who the local health care system is not able to treat comprehensively, identify barriers that prevent members of the batey population from receiving high-quality care and discuss programs designed to provide financial assistance and logistical support for individuals with urgent needs.
