Obtaining funds for long term success is Clínica Esperanza's biggest challenge. Ms. Peggy and her team erected a freestanding building in 2007 - the first phase of a planned two building endeavor that will provide outpatient primary care, urgent care, inpatient treatment, pre-natal and dental services. Clínica Esperanza will need $250,000 annually to continue. Hospitals and clinics in the developing world often fail because they are unable to attract sufficient operation funding for long term survival. This will not happen here. We have formed a Honduran NGO and developed a long-term governance plan including a number of local leaders and medical providers. CLINICA ESPERANZA, ABOVE ALL, IS A CLINIC OF AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE BAY ISLANDS.Contact me by Clicking Here
