Trip Information: The mission will take place in
Valladolid, Mexico, and is to be done as a special request of our
supporting medical missionaries, Roberto and Ricardo Rodriguez of
Monterrey, Mexico.
Won’t you be a part of this exciting and challenging,
remarkably rewarding project, to a place that has never been served in
this manner? We will do 2 cases simultaneously in one OR and do mostly
TURP's the old fashioned method.
We will do about 10% open prostatectomies and a few renal and
ureteral stones. This proves to be a very satisfying mission – one
GHO has accomplished 6 times in Mexico since 2003. God has truly
blessed all our efforts.
One of the greatest needs we have encountered in the past is for
nurses, both in the OR and for the immediate post-op time period. Our
work has placed a heavy load on the national OR personnel, so we need at
least 3-4 good nurses to accompany us.
We will also need a minimum of 2 Anesthesiologists or Nurse
Anesthesiologists who can give spinals. Finally, we are praying for
someone who would supplement the nurses' travel and project fee
costs.

immunizations you’ll need for the mission trip? Please refer to
