In January 2018 Hispaniola Medical Charity was able to operate in the newly remodeled operating rooms at Hospital Ricardo Limardo in Puerto Plata.  On this 9th surgical mission trip, we were able to perform surgeries on 66 patients, 41 ENT and 25 General Surgery.  We also consulted with many patients using diagnostic US and evaluated many more patients for future mission trips.  We had an amazing and hard working team!

HMC just returned from Puerto Plata where we performed 18 Gynecological surgeries, assisted with multiple C-section and vaginal deliveries, We provided Dental hygiene instruction and teeth cleaning for 310 children and gave baby supplies and diapers to over 100 new mothers.

During the first week of January, HMC went to  Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We are able to operate on 42 patients for tonsillectomies and/or adenoidectomies. Our small team of 8 worked very hard but, we could not have done it without all of the support of family and friends in Puerto Plata and at Clinica Gregorio Henandez!

After a cancelled flight, our team played catch-up for 2 days putting in very long hours to help our patients. We are so grateful for the perseverance of our volunteers!  Because of the construction in the OR at the public hospital, our team operated out of 2 facilities.  We did 18 GYN surgeries in the labor & delivery area of Ricardo Limardo and 24 General surgeries in Gregorio Hernandez.  We were also able to present the doctors and staff at Ricardo Limardo with 2 new fetal monitors and to provide them with hands-on instruction through out the week.
