Off and Away to San Martin de Hildago

Many Rotarians made personal connections that engaged them for trips around and out of Guadalajara to see projects. Here is an example. Rotarians from a small and newer club have a fabulous proposal. They are investing in the health of people of their community by helping to equip a health clinic. The government helped the community to build the clinic, but does not suppy it. The club proposes to purchase ultra-sound equipment. This would facilitate examination of pregnant women and also detect some kinds of cancers. Equiping this clinic is important as the nearest alternative is so distant that better than 50% of pregnant women receive no pre-natal care. A situation that leads to birth defects and complicatons. The San Martin de Hildago club plans to invest equal to the amounts they are asking a U.S. club to contribute.

The examining room is staffed by a doctor and ready. What it needs is the equipment!
