Mercy Trips Summer Outreach: "A very busy and tiring day"


Partnering with local healthcare workers and churches in medically underserved countries, Odessa, Texas-based Mercy Trips Healthcare Outreach provides free medical clinics and surgical care as an outreach of Christian love for our fellow man. 



A very busy and tiring day"

The teams had a very busy and tiring day. The village team treated over 1150 patients altogether in a very remote village.

The surgical team suffered some power outages, but managed 4 cases including 2 very large hernias, as well as seeing many patients and sorting out the soperative schedule fore the next few days.
