For:  Group Leader to  inform all Visitors

      As you consider coming to Hospital Loma de Luz, please be aware that people with medical problems should weigh the risks and benefits. At present, we are not able to care for advanced emergencies.  In addition, the Honduran hospital system does not provide care equivalent to that available in the US or Canada.  Our cultural/work environment is at times hazardous, very hot, and dirty, contaminated with animal feces, making even small scratches a risk for infection.  Therefore, you need to be aware that there may be a health risk in visiting Honduras.

     Those who should particularly weigh the risks and benefits are:  (1) Pregnant women  (2) Persons taking medications that alter immune response, or ability to fight infection.  Such medications include cortisone, prednisone, methotrexate, and azothioprine.   (3) Persons with heart disease such as angina, lung disease such as asthma, brittle diabetes, or other chronic diseases, as well as those taking blood thinners like coumadin or heparin.  Please consult your personal doctor about all health conditions.

    We are in a malaria area and recommend malaria prophylaxis.  Please obtain this from your personal doctor. Also ask him for a prescription for traveler’s diarrhea to carry with you. If you are taking medicine to reduce your acid level, your doctor may want you to take a prophylactic diarrhea medicine.

     Bring sufficient medicine in your carry-on bag and some extra.  At times visitors have been stranded in Balfate for prolonged periods due to heavy rains with flooding. 

     If you have any questions, please contact the Cornerstone office (Contact information is above).
