Medical Mission – Sonora Mexico – June 2019

On June 1st, 2019, team members from SOS joined the hospital staff of Hospital General Navojoa located in Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico.  Navojoa is approximately a 13 hour drive from Phoenix traveling thru the Nogales border.
The purpose of the trip was to teach basic laparoscopy skills to the doctors and residents of this hospital.  SOS brought the required equipment and supplies.  During the week, SOS and the local staff completed 25 successful GYN laparoscopic surgeries.  SOS received a warm welcome by the hospital staff and many strong relationships were developed over the week.  SOS  is excited for this new partnership and look forward to returning  soon.
