Something's Stirring in the Amazon Jungle IV

Amazon Promise is a global health non-profit organization formed 26 years ago, by Patty Webster of Royal Oak, Michigan,to provide essential medical/dental services and health education to 35 geographically isolated jungle communities located throughout Loreto, Peru’s largest state, as well as to residents living in impoverished neighborhoods in the city of Iquitos and neighboring Belén.Our focus is on providing primary care, health education, cervical cancer screening and treatment, rainwater catchment systems for clean water, traditional medicine, and family planning.AP frequently works where other NGO's do not go and must often take extreme measures to reach the more inaccessible areas of the Amazon jungle.  Since 1993, Amazon Promise has provided care to over 165,000 people, primarily young children and women of childbearing age, and our Iquitos office is open year-round to provide urgent and follow-up care. All medical services are provided free of charge, and for many patients, this is the only care they ever receive.  Whether it’s for a community of three people, 300, or 3000, Amazon Promise volunteer medical teams travel by canoe, motorboat, helicopter, or on foot, doing whatever is necessary to reach those most in need.
