About the Trip

This trip provides healthcare to under-resourced individuals in Guatemala and links patients who need ongoing treatment to continuity care.

The team works with ASSADE, a Guatemalan organization dedicated to the empowerment of women and children, and supports its continuity clinic. The U.S. partner is the FUEGO Foundation, which establishes permanent clinics, supports local providers and promotes health education in under-resourced communities.

Costs & Logistics

There is no trip fee. Each participant arranges and pays for their own travel costs:

  • Airfare: Book your own flights to Guatemala City (GUA).
  • Airport transfer: Transport between the airport and Antigua can be arranged, but it is often easier to organize your own.
  • Housing: Book your own hotel in Antigua.
  • Meals: Participants cover their own meals.
  • Daily clinic transport: Arranged for the team for a nominal daily fee.

Safety

  • The team travels during daylight hours only and goes only where invited.
  • ASSADE registers the trip with local authorities and obtains permission to bring medications into the country.
  • For blood or body-fluid exposures, follow your home institution’s post-exposure procedures.
  • Before you go, review the U.S. State Department advisory for Guatemala and enroll in STEP.
