The clinic is the shining star of El Ayudante. The critical need for quality and affordable medical care for the poor is a challenge we have embraced for the people surrounding our El Ayudante campus and up the nearby mountain.
The construction of the clinic began in 2007 and now with the generous help of partnering churches, our clinic is providing quality healthcare on a daily basis.
On July 15th, 2014 the clinic opened for general medicine (as well as dental). The surrounding communities now have accessible healthcare for the first time ever. Each year, approximately 16,000 patients are seen for either medical, dental or lab services. Not only do we serve their physical needs, but their spiritual needs are attended to as well through prayer and sharing the gospel.
Through this clinic, families will be changed for generations to come. Thousands are now receiving healing and wholeness each year through prevention, education, treatment, and post treatment.
Maria and Juan live in a one room house with 6 of their 10 children. Because they can’t afford to care for them, the other 4 children live next door with an uncle. Costs aside, to see a doctor they must leave the house before the sun comes up to journey into the city where they will wait in line hoping to see a doctor before the day is out. Because of El Ayudante’s location and volunteer teams, Maria, Juan and their children will receive quality care much nearer to their home.
A volunteer nurse spent an entire day performing ultra-sounds for expectant Moms from the area. All was normal and well until the nurse recognized a condition that would have likely caused one of the mothers to die during child birth. Thank you Lord for this volunteer.

The shining star of El Ayudante is our clinic! The surrounding area is an extremely poor, agricultural community that lacked accessible and affordable medical care. Since July 2014 we have been serving the local population in our 50-mile zone. We have the only licensed doctors from the tip of the mountains, all the way into Comayagua.
El Ayudante is offering licensed medical professionals the opportunity to come and volunteer your time and talents to serve in our clinic. What does a medical “team” look like? There are three options.

All medical personnel, including doctors, PA’s, nurses, NP’s, pharmacists, PT’s, chiropractors, dentists and optometrists, must submit a copy of their medical licenses to practice and diplomas, along with a copy of their passport, to the corresponding colleges here in Honduras. All Medical Licenses and Passports must be emailed to clinic@eahonduras.org at least 6 weeks prior to your arrival.
Only licensed medical personnel are able to practice in Honduras! It is also Honduran law that any medical professional that comes to work in Honduras will practice under a licensed, Honduran physician. You will be collaborating with our Honduran Medical Staff, who will be a great source of help to you as you may see illnesses and health issues not common in the States and yet are frequently treated here.
We ask that all teams or individuals help to provide medicines and other supplies for the clinic. (We are continually updating equipment, our medicine formulary and needed supplies). Our goal is to supply you with the information necessary to bring the items that are really needed. Please note that Honduran law forbids us to bring expired medicines into the country or to dispense them. Please do not bring them or you will have trouble at customs!
