plan 435IXIL HEALTH CLINICS

Summary

The "Area de Salud" that manages health care in the Ixil region of Guatemala has decided to decentralize health care for the area. They have identified three health clinics where they would like help in improving sanitation and hand washing for patients.

Background

Within the last 5 years the govenment has built small health clinics in rural villages to decentralize health care from the national hospital in Nebaj. The structures are adequate for the hospital personnel to treat, and diagnose patients, but did not take into account the large numbes of people waiting for treatment and their sanitary needs. All of the communities have a water system , but no public sanitary and hand washing facilities. This project is the beginning of a process to provide such facilities at the rural clinics by Agua Para La Salud.

Location

Municipality of Nebaj, Guatemala, Ixil region of Quiche department, Guatemala
