Review for Wuqu' Kawoq | Maya Health Alliance, Barrio Patacabaj, Tecpán, , Guatemala

Rating: 5 stars  

I have had the privilege of working for Wuqu Kawoq in Guatemala providing medical care to indiginous patients via our wonderful interpreters as well as providing education to an organized midwifery group creating a foundation to improve healthcare in many of the rural areas. Most of these midwives are the epitome of the 'carry it forward' attitude that hopefully will advance education and share this information to improve healthcare for others in their communities. Education for these women then should improve the standard of living and basic healthcare for many in their communities. It is gratifying for us to help in any way!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Midwives trying to actively manage maternal hemorrhage; education regarding contraception options.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

try to assist more often
