Access to medical care is something that’s easy to take for granted. But that isn't the case for people living in Roatán.

Private hospitals are too costly for most islanders to afford care. Public hospitals are understaffed and ill-equipped, often lacking even basic medicines and supplies. It’s not uncommon for people to be turned away because appropriate care isn’t available.

Even more than meeting physical needs, the clinic will give people hope. Scans can lead to an earlier diagnosis of treatable diseases and give people the opportunity to get appropriate care.

The clinic will also offer classes to aid in preventative care in the hope of improving the overall quality of life for residents on the east side of the island.

Our team at Humanity’s Friend is incredibly grateful to God for removing the barriers to provide accessible and affordable healthcare on the island. We believe it’s a huge first step to helping thousands of people with physical needs and also an open door to sharing the Gospel with the people of Roatan.
