Each year, Project C.U.R.E. organizes several C.U.R.E. Clinics that allow volunteer medical professionals from the U.S. to travel to resource-poor communities abroad to provide free care to under-served patients and training to in-country healthcare providers. Last year, C.U.R.E. Clinics & Training delivered health and hope to 12 countries around the world. We completed 26 Clinics and training trips serving over 10,000 patients. Project C.U.R.E. has recently added Helping Babies Survive training to its Clinics program in order to reduce newborn mortality. 432 birth attendants in six countries were trained in the Helping Babies Survive curriculum. Helping Mothers Survive is a new curriculum added to the Training. Mannequins used in the HBS and HMS trainings remain in the country and we use a Train-the-Trainer/Master Trainer model to ensure sustainability after we are gone.
