Irma Daniela Laboratory (Jatai)
At this clinic in Jatai, more than 11,000 parasite exams, tuberculosis
tests and other medical tests are administered each year. Thousands of
lives are saved each year through early detection of health problems and
potential emergencies. In addition, the laboratory also includes a
Hypertension and Diabetes Education Program and Support Group called the
Sunray Project. The people who participate in this group are cultivating
an herb garden and extracting home-made medicines as an alternative to
costly pharmaceuticals. In addition, the program also boasts an HIV/AIDS
Education Program.
