Floating Doctors providing medical care to remote Panama villages

Bocas del Toro, Panama, February 24, 2023 - We were in western Panama documenting the work of Floating Doctors and ECRI focused on bringing healthcare services to remote villages. As a boots-on-the-ground organization, Floating Doctors has established mobile clinics of trained healthcare professionals and volunteers to provide free acute and preventative medical and dental services to local communities. By going into the communities, Floating Doctors is able to conduct routine well checks on patients, provide preventive care, address acute and chronic illness, and identify health patterns at the individual, family, and community levels. ECRI is an independent nonprofit organization tasked with improving the safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness of care across all healthcare settings worldwide. We encourage you to learn more about the important mission of each organization. If you'd be interested in supporting Floating Doctors directly, please see their website www.floatingdoctors.com
