Report back to work full time on the hospital ship for. My. Theyve up on afghanistan is i heard about the project i was very enthusiastic about it it enables me to work as a franciscan and as a doctor in a region where the people are very severe and we discuss with the ship we can provide the people with what they really mean a Good Health Care enough to go on top of all. The franciscan nun gave up her post a senior position at a hospital in germany and took on the job of chief medical officer on board the proper francisca an exciting challenge. To. Dawn in Santo Antonio a Small Community of rivet well as in brazil. As soon as they heard the hospital ship was on its way people from the surrounding villages started gathering here. The Assembly Hall has been crowded since Early Morning free medical treatment brought virtually to the front door is. Almost too good to be true but 1st mass is celebrated to the franciscans healing and eventually zation the 2 sides of the same coin. I would say that the hospital ship Papa Francisco is a church on the move or walk together with the volunteers and missionaries that god sends us we set out to bring healing for the body but also for the soul. The. Girl named her. Brother joel is chief coordinator on the hospital ship he invites people of all faiths to attend the mass as well as to receive medical treatment. The priest is a member of a fraternity called the franciscan friars of assisi in the providence of god which commissioned the ship the world where. Most of the 300000 people in the diocese of all the dust are desperately poor and most of the priests who minister to them are franciscans. All caring for the poor and the sick has always been part of the Franciscan Mission the skills. To do is get by here you. Would have preferred lots of the people who come here dont have any Health Issues sometimes its a personal problem they want to discuss i think faith is very valuable to the people it helps them to realize they can overcome their limitations are in. This is a multifaceted Mission Medical treatment Pastoral Care and evangelists ation the 1st to pray exam. I when. Chain measuring checking Blood Pressure. Yellow fever hepatitis and meningitis are brad pitt in this region and the hospital ship carries vaccines. The peoples needs are acute the nearest hospital and closest doctor in the town of abi dos half a days boat ride away. To get there or i find that its expensive to go to town you have to leave at night to get there by morning and then you only get called at the hospital if youre marking otherwise you have to come back the next day for 5 days before you see a doctor says some of the people in this village for instance the elderly cant travel to town. If they can we must thank god for the priests the mayor of on the dose doesnt do anything for us change. And emergency and 85 year old man had chest pains and difficulty breathing all night his wife has brought him to the hospital ship he wouldnt have made it into town. I found which great apostle moodle it was very bad last night nearly died yes and all because he kept asking and turning and begging for help we thought it was the end but i said to him hold on to god for the lord is our god send us your will god do something heal him dont let him die rule there should be sept. Up luckily for the patient there are 2 cardiologists on board the 2 italian doctors a part of the medical team on this Maiden Voyage. To explore. To get an e. C. G. Confirms that the old man is suffering from Heart Failure has already had a minor cardiac arrest the 1st line of treatment is medications to bring his Blood Pressure down he should take it morning and evening and will take an x. Ray. To check the heart and lungs ok. Its called the. Next door is a dentist hes also from italy its like his 2 colleagues this doctor has given up his Summer Vacation to work on the ship without paying his reward is the knowledge that hes needed dental problems are acute in this region poor nutrition and the lack of basic dental care produced disastrous results. A lot of people have pets completely destroyed so all of the most is the expression of a week and even on very young girls or boys. Very very much that. The Doctors Office is a below day only on one card or one busy office is the Ultrasound Department a granny almeda is nearly 8 months pregnant and this is her 1st visit to a doctor ultrasound is only available in all because hospital but she cant afford it on the hospital ship its free. Whats on the heart rate is good you dont know whether its going to be a girl or a boy i dont know. Ensure that look here this is painless its a boy congratulations and heres his profile that everythings perfect its all good the examination results are there to fix them i dont see any problem here jane should i be an arbiter how do. I think that im so happy i thought it was a girl but its a boy. Claims it. Was another little boy for me i was so happy. Also i know that everythings ok you know. Shes visibly relieved to have one less worry but its not as simple as that but it is coming up. We dont decide when does it because its the patients often have the idea that an alter a sound examination replaces the need for a doctor and often there isnt any doctors dont want to sit on hold but i was for instance are almost no specialists who want any kind of college this vision mcaleese is. Something like laboring a baby has done by a surgeon because there are no obstetricians 5 or 5 as well a father this person is. That is going to be a young mother is waiting in the car door for a 2nd examination of her baby the royal. Family but boss he has a nasty cough sore throat and can hardly breathe. So the doctor asked for an x. Ray to check his lungs the moment i got there there. Was nothing to ship doesnt only carry a team of 10 doctors it also has the necessary medical equipment the nearest hospital doesnt have an x. Ray machine. The x. Ray doesnt show any abnormalities so the babys blood is tested in the ships own in the bart train. The Papa Francisco is the best equipped hospital ship in brazils Amazon Region theres an operating room onboard and theyll be a surgeon on the team in future. Sister Anna Christina de silva is one of 2 nurses on board. Was a city bus aging after the operation the patient is transferred to the Recovery Room until his condition has stabilized and he is fully conscious the major decision is the boys if i dont wear after that he can stay here for 24 hours until hes moved to another hospital or sent home now or way to say livid at the fact that. Theres no end to the stream of patients the Team Performs 150 examinations each day says to drop back works from morning until night she specialized in neurology but he she also works as a general practitioner many of her patients have chronic ailments like this man with constant back pain. In my. Eyes so that was it. Then theres a dermatological case as theres no relevant specialist on board the doctors used telemedicine the italians donated the equipment. The girl suffers from an aggressive and painful foot fungus. Videos photos and an initial diagnosis assent to an International Community of experts with a request for treatment recommendations. It boys obama. Will call you later to see if there are any recommendations other than this on him and weve already given her that i think as chief medical officer says the router tries to select volunteers for the medical team in line with the requirements of the villages theyll be visiting. Until you dearest as adults or have an idea is to go there 1st and see what diseases are most prevalent if a lot of people have skin conditions it would be sensible to take a dermatologist along for instance thats our current plan to look at the situation 1st and then put out teams together. For this purpose they are sending out their ambulance boats ahead of the next voyage but even now while the hospital ship is more than one of the villages the ambulance boat has already visiting neighboring communities. On board a nurse and a priest on their way to patients who arent able to visit the hospital ship. That nearly is 94 years old sister knew she had a concious south examines her. I recall and i think her making you see probably just her and the picnic thats really. Those what you dont see anything with either i. Wanted them how long have you not been able to see their. Not very long i sort of for you should you lose your sight gradually as suddenly you. Know gradually. As soon as i have cataracts that can be fixed but we have to operate. On both the old woman is almost blind she doesnt want an operation the nurse understands the sick a fever that possibly long. As shes doing well shes in good shape that youll never was. No doubt ok lets go you know. More patients are waiting. At a very big. A good point because he was bitten by a snake at the end when he came here at 11 oclock he was very sick you lost consciousness but i treated him with herbs that my father showed me and now the swelling is going down you mean you had they didnt sound bite was here. And emergencies like this occur frequently one has to act fast. If theyre made to commit this is the medicine i make you think that if it contains 4 herbs what are you that you care and in one of them if theres lots of antibiotics. They want to be. The 3rd are affected the patient is feeling so much better that he doesnt even want to go to the hospital ship the healer goes instead she has a cyst on her thyroid gland. For an 81 year old neighbor comes along she suffers from various complaints but cant manage the trip into town to visit her doctor. The patients are taken to the ship where the doctors are expecting them meanwhile the neighbors collect the results of their tests even Wilson Acevedo brought his extended family along in just 2 days with the whole gamut medical examination tests diagnosis and treatment. Here are even nuisance results he has kidney stones on both sides and when they move its really painful otherwise the x. Rays are. Higher she gave it up looking. It was worth it ive been examined so have my daughter my daughter in law and my son and the others as well and my other daughter in law is having a tooth extracted right now. All that would have taken weeks months in town not to mention the travelling expenses and medical fees. The cases in Santo Antonio have been treated time to sail. The hospital ship serves 1000 communities beyond the boundaries of. 700000 people. In the future underway for up to 10 days at a time then it will time. To prepare for the next for each. In spite of the head. The rain many people have spent the night here to secure their place in the line but i have heard that on its Maiden Voyage the hospital ship will also be treating patients in overdose. We dont have any more capacity. The crowd is frustrated because all the appointments was soon taken. There will be mass later but will continue seeing patients. The main celebrant today is the bishop of overdose yohannes bollman was appointed to this diocese in the Amazon Region 10 years ago don bernardo as the german cleric is known in brazil is very much a pastoral bishop he has actively supported the hospital ship project to go. Bungee bungee for the very last night it wasnt working out a secret so its up and running get me to go marco polo everyone be treated or was that not always possible that it would be a no no we couldnt treat everyone for so many yes we can treat 100 a year and we have 300 waiting in line. The projects initial costs were covered by a fine a judge heard about the proposed hospital ship and awarded the equivalent of 6000000 euros to the project a fine him posed in an environmental case that was sufficient to buy the ship and finance the 1st voyages. Bishop bollman is committed to securing the projects feature. That so i doubt it could shamed us here to start some bit that will approach prosecutors and judges and encourage them in cases where a fine is imposed over to invest that money in this project because its a truly concrete project that really helps a lot of people on the field mention who bought them for you Hannah Spelman is also a franciscan the german born priest has lived in brazil for nearly 40 years. I. Know that live here its a source of joy for us to help everyone it. Is here that it was all that they. Hear and i hope that your own will receive the healing of the you need for your life this was the it does and that god can have a place in the lives of each one of you that the polls. Yeah in addition to theology bishop ullman also studied agricultural science and he represents his region at the pan amazon synod in rome attended by bishops from the 9 countries of the Amazon Region their agenda is comprehensive it ranges from poor infrastructure to de forestation of the rainforest and protection of this Indigenous Peoples all problems that have become more acute since a right wing government came to power in brazil in 2018 oh really right and i cant we take a different approach here thats not about us saying were special or as the church are against progress or against development on them was it about we have to question our so much that we cant do these things irrespective of the cost to us that we have to ask ourselves about sustainability and all that we can do to build bridges the problems we have in the hAmazon Region can be solved its a push even opprobrium to be our been a lot so an interest that. All beatles lies at the heart of the Amazon Region the great river is only 2 kilometers wide at this point here in the state of para deforestation and forest fires are among the most egregious in brazil the Catholic Church is determined not to ignore these issues the pan amazon synod is tasked with stimulating action. For many years the church has played a major role in providing Health Services in this town of 50000 residents 5 years ago the fraternity of sin francis in the providence of god took over the municipal hospital. The congregation grants 20 hospitals in brazil this one in all the dos serves the hospital ship as a base that you can always come to play can admit patients to this hospital who need longer treatment for instance intravenous antibiotics treatments for several days and patients who need to be. Served over a longer period also expectant mothers when we know the birth will be complicated patients can stay here for several days of being. Here theres a doctor on duty around the clock even if hospital is not as well equipped for diagnoses as the sheep digital x. Ray patient from the hospital ship has spent 2 nights here inhaling infusions. Yeah you so believe the are you going home today everything ok so let me see back here. They say philip is doing well it was an infection of the respiratory tract a few in the media he will prescribe a medicine and he can go home but i think that. Overdose hospital is state recognised and receive subsidies however they are not sufficient to cover all the costs the ship has also received a promise of subsidies. Next door this construction work going on the new building will be better equipped than the old hospital but the franciscans are still waiting 1st state subsidy. Back on the hospital ship brother show is assessing the 1st 6 day voyage on which 800 patients receive treatment youre only a part of. It what i was doing the statistics tears came into my eyes because i know its not numbers its people human suffering. System water the neurologist treated 103 people go to. The dentist 163 patients that we made a 136 x. Rays. 10 mammograms on day one were going to be your 174 sonogram starfall. Can you build a team out. Atory tests person always looked at thats the result of our efforts and all our sweat i can only say thank you. I think. Were all mates and i did we made it happen people have experienced a sign of solidarity. There are no words to describe it they follow my heart rejoices that each person who is treated here certainly has the same feeling of gratitude and of this unique opportunity in our lives you want to come also be. Its a reason to celebrate. The thing. The Maiden Voyage was a tremendous success now freshly scrubbed and restocked with medicines the ship is ready to sign again while the volunteers change with each voyage sister rutan brothers will sail regularly on the hospital ship together with the cool medical team. Coming together they assess the Lessons Learned for the upcoming trips. To Something Else i noticed i dont know how you view this as a doctor kind of college she is urgently needed right there but the absolutely radiologist gynecologists general practitioners sr route will take this into account when selecting volunteers in the future many come from the franciscan hospitals in brazil. As it isnt out of the completely exhausted after the Maiden Voyage but also super happy that it worked out so well. And everybody is looking forward to the next track that we go with that i think thats what makes our project special that its something ongoing. We get every experience and apply it to the project. Each voyage should get better and the core team is in creative. Honey much of a tit. Garbage by the way it a good morning if thats the fan well gathering bishop bollman is also present to thank old us who took part. In. The last snap shots from the Maiden Voyage the 1st of many trips. And they set off for the official dedication ceremony in the state capital meanwhile the pomp of francisco has taken up its Important Mission and become cycling regularly to the amazons isolated river communities so i think people who until now have had hardly any access to health care.
