Provide 50,000 health services in Mexico

During these last fourteen months, the Mobile Medical Unit of Un Buen Grupo de Amigos, A.C. toured states of Puebla, Tlaxcala and Morelos.

The Mobile Medical Unit offered health services of first and second level of medical care, dental interventions, dental prostheses, electrocardiography, ultrasonography, physical rehabilitation, dental prostheses, as well as the delivery of complete treatments (medications) to patients attended and orthoses as wheelchairs, to those who requested it and justified the use of them.

The selection and programming of locations was carried out according to recent reports of the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) in localities whose poverty index is high.

The Foundation provided home medical consultation to patients whose serious state of health should be at absolute rest. For medical care, a basic team, made up of a doctor, a nurse and a health promoter, traveled to the home with medical equipment, nursing and medicines. The objective is to provide an integral, professional and very human service.

The Foundation carried out an intense humanitarian work with its own team of doctors, dentists, nurses and health promoters. We continue to serve people in areas strongly affected by the earthquake that occurred on September 19, 2017, such as Mrs. María N., from San Jerónimo Coyula, Atlixco, Puebla, he mentions us "Thank you very much for taking care of us, come back soon"

Providing medical services in marginalized areas

During these last 2 months, the Mobile Medical Unit of “Un Buen Grupo de Amigos, A.C.” visited colonies in the municipality of Puebla, as well as the municipalities of Izúcar de Matamoros and Atlixco. The Mobile Medical Unit offered health services of first and second level of medical care, dental interventions, dental prostheses, electrocardiograms, ultrasound, ultrasound, physical rehabilitation, dental prostheses, as well as the delivery of complete treatments (medicines) to patients attended to more of 2,100 people. We provided "Humanitarian Aid in the area of Health" to all those people in the municipalities visited, who needed health services, with quality and in a complete state (with medicines), in a timely and free manner.

The selection and programming of the locations was carried out according to reports from the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL) in localities with a high poverty index.

With the importance of joining forces and bringing more health services to places of high marginalization, institutions such as the Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla (BUAP), through its Faculties of Nursing, Medicine and Stomatology; The Popular Autonomous University of the State of Puebla (UPAEP), Professional Institute in Therapies and Humanities (IPETH) and the Aztec Volunteer of the University of the Americas-Puebla (UDLAP) joined the Free Medical Attention Health Care Days; maximizing the benefit for the population in a highly vulnerable state.

The team of the special mobile medical unit was made up of health professionals who voluntarily provide their services at the Mobile Medical Unit. The volunteers come from different states of the Mexican Republic, such as Veracruz, Puebla, Tabasco and Oaxaca. Likewise, the professional team of the Foundation was integrated by a General Coordinating Physician, Dentist, General Coordinator, Supervisor, Multipurpose Operator and other logistics and administrative team that strengthened with his work in the realization of the Free Medical Attention Health Care Days.
