IMR will be aiding the local healthcare system as they recover. This is not a search and rescue effort. IMR Volunteers can expect to treat acute and chronic illness, provide wound care, replace reading glasses and chronic medications where possible, and fill in at hospitals as requested. Clinics will be held outside under tarps or within structurally sound buildings as available.
Flexibility is a key component of success for this mission! Be prepared for a fluid situation that may require significant changes to the planned itinerary. It is our goal to provide aid in whatever manner is necessary to help the people and the medical community of the Bahamas. This is NOT a clinic, but a disaster relief trip. Teams will be supporting the area in any ways that they need!
