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 2016, 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 2017, 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 much access to health
care services. Most of the people that we will serve
are women and children.
Next Trip:
We are planning our 19th Medical Mission Trip to
Pamplona-Alta, Peru, which will take place
from August 2nd to 7th, 2017 (5 days). 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 2017 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 August
3rd, 2017 at approximately 5:00 pm and will be
returning from Lima on August 8th at approximately
7:00 am. Currently, the Miami-Lima-Miami fare is
$675 (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 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 $600. (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.
