Healing the World
![]() What Do We Do For An Encore? The medical mission tothe Linden Hospital in Guyana on July 10 - 16 2011 marked the 20th anniversary of the Overseas Medical AssistanceTeam (OMAT). This mission was special since were were able to do community outreach as well as perform many surgical proceedures in the newly built Linden Hospital.
It is my belief that 2012 will be a better year for the OMAT. As we plan for our two missions to Haiti and one to Guyana we are expecting participation from past and new volunteers. We will maintain our focus on helping to improve healthcare in the countries to which we travel. It is our goal for 2012 missions to expand the range of services that we provide by including more specialists and subspecialists.
Finally, we are blessed and humbled by the remarkable results funding of 4 physicians salaries brought to Hopital Adventiste in Diquini, Haiti. We are in reciept of a letter of thanks from the administrator, Mrs. Clotaire. Here is an excerpt of the letter:
'The last two years have been a very large trial for the hospital and its employees. Because of your (OMAT) generousity we have been able to continue to serve the community and rebuild our hospital. We thank you as well as hope for your continued financial support in 2012..'
This thank you goes to all those who donated to help Haiti. The funds helped provide medical care for thousands in 2011 and at this request will go on to do more in 2012. Imagine being responsible for keeping a much needed health care facility open to a population so in need of heallth care. That's what YOU did through your support of the OMAT!
Our wish to everyone is for a productive and prosperous 2012.
Stephen S. Carryl, MD
OMAT President
