Introduction: Medical Missions to Peru, is a Catholic initiative that organizes groups of doctors, nurses, other health workers and non-medical volunteers to travel yearly to Peru, from the US (Miami, Denver and other main US cities) and Canada to provide basic medical care to communities in need of such services. People from other faiths and believes are most welcome to participate. In Peru we work together with health professionals and volunteers from “Solidaridad en Marcha”, part of the Christian Life Movement (CLM, Peruvian organization), who help us coordinating and organizing the missions. In 2018, through our three Medical Missions trips to Peru, we were able to provide medical care to thousands of people in most needed Peruvian locations.

Goals: In 2019, our primary goal is to provide basic medical care to people living in a poor area in the city of Pamplona-Alta, Lima, Peru; where there is not minimum access to health care services. Most of the people that we will serve are women and children.

Next Trip: We are planning our 23^rd Medical Mission Trip to Pamplona-Alta, Peru, which will take place from August 2 to 4, 2019 (traveling July 31^st and returning August 6^th). Many people that had the experience of being part of a medical mission trip to Peru, felt inspired to build and be part of next mission trips, and therefore we have had an overwhelming interest in our upcoming mission to Peru. All who have attended the Peru Medical Mission in the past will be given priority as well as anyone that has specific technical and/or logistical skills helpful to the execution of our mission. We are still in need of Doctors (IM, GP/FP, GYN, Pediatrics, Dermatologists, Podiatrists, Surgeons, Dentists, etc.) ARNP’s, PA’s, Pharmacists, Paramedics and Nurses. However, you DO NOT need to be a medical professional to volunteer.

Meetings: In an effort to ensure the smoothest possible execution of all the mission tasks, we will be holding three meetings before August 2019 in Miami, and Toronto before departure. It is expected to have the volunteers attending these meetings.

About Peru: Peru is a relatively safe country; however, we cannot guarantee safety; especially if someone does things outside the itinerary or leaves the group. For these same reasons we do not allow minors unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. We will provide security for the group at all times. However, you will be responsible for your own safety if you choose to arrive earlier or stay beyond the set mission dates.

Air Travel: We will be flying on LAN Peru from Miami to Lima (flights will be coordinated appropriately for those flying from other cities). We are trying to have as many as possible out-of-town (non-Miami) mission members to fly out of Miami together with us. The main group will be departing from Miami on July 31^st, 2019 at approximately 5:30 pm and will be returning from Lima on August 6^th at approximately 7:00 am. Currently, the Miami-Lima-Miami fare is $750.00 (group price). We are requiring that everyone that attends the mission fly in and out on the same flights as a group. We realize that some of you may want to use frequent flyer miles to pay for their tickets on other airlines or may have other travel plans pre or post mission, but please be aware that we cannot make any special arrangements for transportation, lodging or luggage storage for anyone who travels outside the group itinerary. If that is the case, you will be responsible for your own transportation and lodging for the dates and times outside the group itinerary.

Housing & Meals: We will be staying at a retreat house in Lima, Peru. The cost per person for the 5 days in Lima, Peru, including transportation, lodging, meals, and two T-shirts that will identify you during the mission days, will be $750. (This amount includes a $150 fee that is used to buy medications and supplies needed for the mission). Restaurant meals are not covered (those usually consist of a group lunch during a city tour on the last day).

Donations: We gladly accept donations to be able to purchase medications to take with us. In previous years we have been blessed with lots of over-the-counter medications and supplies that we received as a direct donation or that were bought thanks to cash donations. All monetary donations in the US are tax deductible (CLM Inc. is a 501c3 institution). You could also sponsor your own trip with specific donations.
