In rural
Yucatán villages, where indigenous Maya live in abject poverty, A Promise of
Health has developed an innovative and unique healthcare model that if
replicated across rural Mexico can revolutionize the delivery of medical
services for the poor.
Since 2001
until now, A Promise of Health has placed Mexican homeopathic doctors in
rural Yucatán, serving more than 25 municipalities. During that time, the
doctors, who see on average 140 patients each day, have treated an
incredible number of patients – more than 65,000. With a portable pharmacy
they are not only able to diagnose and prescribe, but also to give villagers
needed medicine. All of this at no cost to the patient.
Our doctors
teach children sanitation, personal health and nutrition in village
schools including promoting the growing of home gardens for better
nutrition.
Unique to
A Promise of Health
is our doctors
live in the communities they serve.
This is the first time that has ever occurred!
A Promise of Health
offers a new
solution to the age old challenge of providing low cost, effective, basic
healthcare for citizens most in need. In Yucatan,
A Promise of Health
has proven
its program. It has
successfully
treated
chronic and acute illness for thousands of rural Maya. Illnesses
caused by poor sanitation and hygiene are common and can be prevented.
A Promise of Health plans to expand
this successful
homeopathic model across other parts of Mexico. Everyday
healthcare doesn't have to be out of reach for Mexico’s poor who comprise
76% of Mexico's population. Hope thrives with solutions that work. With A
Promise of Health’s innovative healthcare model, hope is
coming again to the rural poor of Mexico.
Much work needs to be done!
