Panamá - Ngabe Bugle
IHI has established partnerships with mainland communities located in the mountainous region known as the Ngabe Bugle community, one of the largest indigenous groups in the country of Panamá. The Ngabe Bugle community experience extreme levels of poverty and have very limited access to health services and routine care. IHI has conducted an initial needs assessment with the community.
Onsite outreach and planning have been tremendously impacted by COVID-19. IHI has tentative plans to return these communities in 2021 and 2022.
