Medical services
Through the Mobile Vaccine brigades, health personnel provide a variety of services. Some of them are:
general medical consultation nutrition protection for children under five years of age weight and height monitoring deworming delivery of vitamins vaccination of children under five years of age for disease prevention pregnancy control supplementation pap smear examinations family planning prenatal control rabies vaccination
Mobile Vaccine
The purpose of this initiative is to support communities in health issues. Therefore, the Mobile Vaccine brigades, coordinated by the MSPAS, visit Guatemalans who reside in poverty. The Health portfolio is responsible for identifying the most vulnerable areas with difficult access to these care services.
In this sense, the groups are made up of ministry personnel, nutritionists and support staff with experience in nursing and in the promotion of medical services.
The objective is for health professionals to visit each of the regions, in search of cases of acute malnutrition in children under 5 years of age. This is to initiate or follow up on treatments that help counteract the conditions in which they reside.
