Online pharmacy weblog

Many of you have heard of the critical need for medical people in Honduras for
the planned upcoming medical mission. IHS (International Health Services) is
sending many medical teams in Feb and they will go to remote places where the
only medical care they will get is from our teams.

I am getting several inquirers with several questions. Great! The interest is
good and we have a couple new pharmacists who are signing up to go. Several IHS
veteran pharmacists are planning to go, too. However… with about 10 or 11 sites
where we will need one or two at each, we still have an urgent need for several
more. With about 100 folks needed in all, we certainly are seeking many
medical, dental, and eye care professionals along with support and helper
people, too. Each site has varying pharmacy dispensing needs so many will
qualify to help somewhere. We even have a couple pharmacy students who are
interested in going to help team pharmacists. We are hoping to get a list of
committed names for all the pharmacists, translators, and other medical folks by
1 October so IHS can start buying all the supplies (pharmacy, food, medical
supplies, plus radio and engineering gear). They will send all this in a
container shipment about the end of December.

If you have any questions for info on how to go or how to help out, call John
Kirckof at 320-634-4386 right away. A phone call may be the best. There is a
tiny IHS web site at: www.IHSOFMN.org It does not have a ton of ham info but
it does have some good general info in their “newsletter”.

NOTE – I have attached a couple articles written from the last mission trip IHS
did last Feb. I sure hope you can help !! The very poor of Honduras do need
our help.
