Medical Eye-Dental International Care (MEDICO) is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and providing healthcare in impoverished rural communities in Central America. With a focus on Honduras, where the healthcare system is overwhelmed and inaccessible to many, MEDICO sponsors clinical teams of international and local medical, dental, and vision care providers, along with volunteers, to operate temporary field clinics. In addition to providing healthcare services, MEDICO also promotes public health through community education and supports community improvements such as the repair, renovation, or construction of clinics, water systems, and schools.
MEDICO's mission is carried out by a dedicated team of volunteers who work both in the United States and in remote villages in Honduras. By collaborating with local communities and the Ministry of Health, MEDICO identifies the most critical needs and develops programs tailored to address them. From medical and dental care to community classes on family planning and sanitation, MEDICO works closely with communities to improve their quality of life. With a long history of service and a commitment to making a difference, MEDICO continues to provide essential healthcare services and support to those in need.
