Please join the Office of Global Health as we host a multidisciplinary team that spent a week in small rural communities outside of Piura, Peru during July 2022 in collaboration with Olive Branch Ministries International. Building upon a previous TTUHSC partnership in 2019, the team hosted a medical clinic ran by U.S. and Peruvian health care providers and built a community composting latrine. This presentation will discuss how the work involved building trust and relationships with community partners and community members, as well as long-term plans for sustainable partnerships and future global health trips in the area.
This event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is necessary.
