Athens, Greece Nov 12 - 21, 2021, Refugee Care, w/Bob Coulter, RPh, SR1528
NOTE: GHO has a COVID plan to do our best to keep trip participants and our patients safe and healthy. We are watching country requirements closely. It is possible this mission will cancel in which case your application and funds will be moved to a future mission of your choice.
*Currently CDC has lifted guidelines and no longer recommend a quarantine upon return to the U.S. if you have been vaccinated for COVID-19. We do however recommend you check with your employer or hospital for their requirements before committing to the mission.
All team members must be Covid-19 vaccinated to attend this mission trip. This includes ages 16 and up, with younger team members not allowed to attend at this time. All Covid-19 restrictions will be lifted as soon as safely possible.
*Special Travel Note: Due to COVID-19 restrictions and regulations, no deviations from the trip dates will be allowed.
This trip is for primary care providers, dermatologists, dentists, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, dental hygienists, dental assistants, physical/occupational therapists, ophthalmologists, optometrists and logistical servants. Trip specialty is Refugee Care.
The majority of refugees have sought safety no longer found in their homelands. This trip will focus on ministering to the refugees in the tent camps and those dispersed throughout Athens.
Greece has been one of the main gateways into Europe for people fleeing numerous war-torn and chronically unstable countries and has been on the frontline of this crisis since its inception. Our National Partners have been involved in ministry to the refugees even prior to the catastrophic influx that started in 2015.
The initial intent to relocate refugees has faltered since migration northward into Europe has ceased and placement remains very difficult for those who remain in Greece. There are still thousands of people waiting in ill-equipped shelters to be processed, settled, or deported. Living conditions for refugees in this area are very poor and their future is in doubt.
Since we will be serving a large population of Muslims, it will be important for us to have a large percentage of our providers to be female. This team will allow a limited number of Servants (non-medical helpers).
