Fall 2023
Mission Panama
Penonomé

Surgical Volunteers International and partner, the Prescribing Life Foundation, plan to continue offering free specialty surgical and health care to the underserved and less privileged communities of the world. The next mission is to Penonomé, the capital city of Coclé, Panama.
This mission is coordinated through the assistance of the Panamanian organization, The Club De Leones Panama Virtual en Valores.

The team will perform surgical procedures to correct congenital and acquired deformities of the head and neck, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts and plastic surgical correction of soft tissue lesions and hand anomalies. In addition, there will be attention to treating patients with chronic pain disorders, renal conditions, and prenatal screening. Our efforts will be centered at Aquilino Tejeira Hospital with the support of their staff and regional medical officials.
