Dear Members,


The BMDA Executive would like to thank all the participating physicians and nurses that attended our C.M.E. in Orange Walk, held on Saturday 29th December 2008.  It was a successful endeavor in which the presentation topics were varied and included surgical, orthopedic and internal medicine topics.  After the activity there was a congenial gathering with some food and beverages. 
If you are interested in being a presenter, would like to have a particular subject spoken on, or would like to schedule a C.M.E. event in your area of the country, kindly let us know so that we may assist in having the activity.  We will keep you posted as to the scheduling of the next BMDA activity.
Sincerely,


Johanne Perez, MD

BMDA’s Outreach Clinic for Orange Walk Flood Victims

 
The Belize Medical and Dental Association held an outreach clinic in the Orange Walk District.
 
Villages assisted were: San Anotonio, San Roman and San Pablo.
 
The participating physician members left Belize City at approximately 8:30 am accompanied by nurses, nursing student and pharmacists.
 
Medical supplies and water were available to distribute to the population as needed.
 
Approximately 250 people were seen and treated for causes varying from Respiratory Disease, Intestinal Parasitsm, Mycosis and Dermatitis.
 
The flood waters had not receded as yet therefore we had to be crossed by tractor in order for us to reach the village of San Antonio , to travel to San Roman we had to take a boat ride courtesy of the Belize Coast Guard.
 
The Honorable Gaspar Vega also visited these villages with us in a show of concern for the Belizean population.
 
We left the villages at about 7:00 arriving in Orange Walk Town at about 9:00 pm.

It was a very successful endeavor, that was highly appreciated by the populations assisted
