Last week, Hospital Yojoa physicians Dr. Esohe Iyamu and Dr. Hannah Anderson had the opportunity to participate in several days of medical training in La Moskitia, the most remote region of Honduras.

Made up of vast rainforest and difficult terrain, La Moskitia is home to several Indigenous people groups, including the Miskito, Tawahka, Mayangna, and Pech—each with their own language and cultural traditions. Geographic isolation makes healthcare delivery uniquely challenging in this region.

The nurses and parteras (traditional birth attendants) who attended the trainings were deeply impressive in their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. They asked thoughtful questions, shared stories from cases they have encountered, and actively supported one another. At the skills stations, participants practiced together and helped translate for colleagues more comfortable communicating in Miskito or Tawahka than in Spanish.

Training sessions focused on the recognition and management of preeclampsia and eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage (using the WHO Bleeding After Birth model), shoulder dystocia, and breech delivery—specifically addressing how to manage these complications in low-resource settings. The team also had the opportunity to serve in two public health centers providing cervical cancer screening and obstetric ultrasound.

Trips like this are never accomplished alone. Hospital Yojoa is grateful to for coordinating logistics and providing critical regional context; to the local pastors who welcomed the team; to the healthcare professionals who shared their experience and insight; and to for safely transporting the team to and from La Moskitia. It was a privilege to serve alongside such dedicated partners.

Construction at the hospital site has kicked off, and big progress is being made this week!

On Monday and Tuesday the construction team placed and backfilled the storm drain piping, ensuring water is properly managed at the hospital entrance.

Yesterday, concrete was poured to form the storm drain outlets, providing appropriate reinforcement to the drainage system and moving us one step closer to a fully functional entrance.

At the top of the entrance road, regrading has officially begun, which is crucial to ensure safe and reliable access for construction equipment and eventually hospital patients.

Infrastructure may not be glamorous, but it is foundational! Each of these steps prepares the way for safe, accessible care for this community.

Thank you for following along and supporting the vision!

¡La construcción en el sitio del hospital ha comenzado, y esta semana se están logrando grandes avances!

El lunes y martes, el equipo de construcción colocó y rellenó las tuberías de los drenajes pluviales, asegurando que el agua se gestione correctamente en la entrada del hospital.

Ayer, se vació concreto para formar las salidas de los drenajes, proporcionando el refuerzo adecuado al sistema de drenaje y acercándonos un paso más a una entrada completamente funcional.

En la parte superior del camino de acceso, la nivelación del terreno ha comenzado oficialmente, lo cual es crucial para garantizar un acceso seguro y confiable para el equipo de construcción y, eventualmente, para los pacientes del hospital.

¡La infraestructura puede no ser llamativa, pero es fundamental! Cada uno de estos pasos prepara el camino para brindar atención segura y accesible a esta comunidad.

¡Gracias por acompañarnos y apoyar esta visión!
