We have a vision, a vision of having a medical based trip in the spring. We would like to come along side the Dr's in Kyrgyzstan , like Dr Tatyana and Dr Anara ..
I envision clinics providing help in all area's .. from GP's to specialists , eye exams , hearing tests, dermatology, physiotherapy... you name it , .. training and equipping medical personnel and individuals , meeting immediate needs as well as equipping for the future . We would like to see this team accompanied by local Dr's from Kyrgyzstan , and a substantial Medical trust fund to help meet the needs as they present them selves.
I see the clinics working in the orphanages and seniors homes, in the small towns , and the remote villages .
I am tired of seeing the good Drs over worked and having little resources to help, I am tired of people suffering and dying because they can't get the help that they need , and I am tired of seeing so many people we know who settle for the same diagnosis .. because that what pays the best....
I don't know where this will lead, but I wanted to start now and put some feelers out to see if any of you are interested, If you are interested , email me at sunmasterjohn@aol.com , and let me know your area of experiences, and this fall we can begin the process of medical clearances as well as matching up with National Dr's wanting to be a part of this ..
Call it's time !

Some time ago, several of the physicians and nurses who have adopted Kyrgyz kids talked about doing something along these lines, especially for children with hydrocephalus. I certainly would be interested in participating, but might not be able to do much because of some personal medical issues. I would also be willing to explore setting up a neuroendoscopy suite at a hospital there as a vendor said that the company, based in Germany might be willing to donate equipment if local physicians will do a significant amount of charity work with it.
