Latest CMMB Medical Shipments

For the month of May 2007, CMMB made 41 shipments with a total value of $9,025,732. Cumulative totals for CMMB Healing Help medical shipments in fiscal year 2007 through May are 380 shipments with a total value of $104,340,961. Notable shipments in May included:

Esperenza DiopVIETNAM:CMMB put together a shipment of medicines for Holy Rosary International Medical Mission, which works to address basic medical care needs in Vietnam.  On this, their second trip to Vietnam, the volunteers were able to prescribe and distribute medicines at thirteen clinics at different locations.  This is a notable feat, in a country where medical care is not free, and where the Catholic Church and the Vietnamese government have a difficult relationship.  The group, for example, was only granted permission to spend two days at one of the free clinics in the area.  They were forced to continue their work underground, moving in and out of orphanages, convents, and healthcare facilities in order to meet the needs of the poor. The people of Holy Rosary did manage to serve 1,244 individuals over the course of their mission trip: 191 children between the ages of 1-12, 75 young adults aged 13-18, 620 adults aged 19-55, and 358 middle-aged and elderly patients aged 56 and over. The group hopes to expand their mission to include the Philippines next year. 

HAITI:The Paroisse Saint Francois de Sales received a shipped container of CMMB medicines and supplies last month for the Saint Francois de Sales Hospital (shown above) in Vaudreuil, which is in the district of Cap Haiti.  This is the new maternity hospital that opened just last year..

Esperenza DiopMOROCCO:A medical team of thirteen hand-carried ½ ton of medicines to Laayoune and S’mara, Morocco this past month through Bridge to Morocco.  The team worked together with a twenty-six person medical team from Morocco to treat 4,480 patients, including these youngsters.
