A Clinic for Yanhuitlán, Oaxaca !
Dr. Soledad Ramirez Medina
“I want you to know that this is my GOLDEN DREAM.
What I most want is to return to my home town of Yanhuitlán. There I want to establish a homeopathic clinic for A PROMISE OF HEALTH.
It would be a small clinic that WILL REMAIN THERE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME FOR THOSE MOST IN NEED.
This is what I want more than anything."
Dr. Soledad penned this sentiment in October 2020 writing to A PROMISE OF HEALTH’s directors.
It was a dreary time, with the Covid Pandemic in full swing. Many pueblos were shut down including Ayoquezco. For the past year, Dr. Soledad had pleaded with the municipal government to make much needed and neglected repairs to her crumbling clinic that had suffered greatly from 2 Oaxaca earthquakes. But, her pleas fell upon deaf ears. When she could no longer bear the government’s inaction and its Covid rules made it difficult for patients to visit the clinic, she decided it was time to return to the town of her birth.
To make her point, she purchased some land in the center of town and wrote to A PROMISE OF HEALTH’s directors that there she wanted to build the clinic of her dreams. In her words, "It will be my “Golden Dream. It will be a small clinic that will remain there for generations to come for those most in need.”
A PROMISE OF HEALTH’s directors were moved by her determination and unanimously voted to help.
Much more communication followed as an architect was found, the clinic’s design was agreed upon and a builder was located. On January 4, 2021, with help from A PROMISE OF HEALTH, construction of the clinic began. During the next 15 months Dr. Soledad’s A PROMISE OF HEALTH clinic emerged, rising as A BEACON OF HOPE for these Mixtec communities!
Soon the newly constructed clinic shall open its doors and those needing medical care will come. Help Dr. Soledad and A PROMISE OF HEALTH fulfill our promise to help this Mixtec community in rural Oaxaca, Mexico.
