ISI/Loyola Team Visit

St. Boniface recently hosted a team of medical students from Loyola University. While in Fond des Blancs the team, led by Dr. Aaron Michelfelder, held four remote medical clinics, two each in Villa and Belle Riviere.

The team provided consultations and medications to over 800 patients. They saw many different medical conditions, from common complaints such as colds and hypertension to advanced breast cancer, esophageal cancer, Vitamin B12 deficiency paralysis, Beri Beri and elephantiasis (lymphatic filiarsis). They were packing up their last clinic when a woman presented with a serious machete wound to her hand which they were able to clean and suture.

Thank you for your hard work, Loyola!
