earthMed Charitable Volunteer Medical Team Returning to Mongolia in Fall 2010

earthMed volunteer medical team will continue earthMed's long term medical program support efforts

earthMed cardiothoracic surgeon John R. Handy, Jr., M.D., director of Providence Thoracic Surgery and co-director of the Providence Thoracic Oncology Program in Portland, Oregon, will be leading earthMed's volunteer charitable medical mission.

earthMed has a long-standing relationship with the Mongolian health care system, providing personnel and material support for thoracic and cardiac surgery development. While in Mongolia, our team will provide needs assessment, needed medical supplies, run surgical clinics, perform thoracic surgery and participate in postoperative recovery in collaboration with our Mongolian colleagues.

Our team will be operating in the Shastin Hospital (Hospital #3), the Infectious Disease Hospital (a.k.a. the TB Hospital) and the Traumatology Center.

earthMed will be laying groundwork for aiding and expanding Mongolian medical capability into other medical and surgical arenas (e.g. pancreatic-hepatobiliary surgery.)
