Salybia Projects
|
SMP has developed and supported many projects which have helped improve the quality of life of those living in the Kalinago Territory. These programs are often collaborations with local initiatives and work to address the community-derived list of needs.
Through their participation, many aspiring physicians have gained valuable clinical and organizational experiences, and left an indelible mark on the community which it serves. Furthermore, SMP has also participated & lent its financial support to non-medical initiatives that address the broader social issues that impact the community’s health. |

Health Fairs
One of the most important services that SMP members provide to the Kalinago community is their educational health fairs. Many of these have targeted specific demographic groups for a more tailored message.
Beginning in 2003, the Women’s Health Initiative helped Kalinago women understand the importance of screening exams and participate in culturally sensitive sexual education discussions. A comparable Men’s Health Clinic has also been developed in the recent past, which also works to raise awareness and education about male-centered health issues.
Among the most popular of all health fairs is that which targets the community’s children & youth, which happen independently or in collaboration with the RUSM Student Pediatrics Association. These couple well baby visits & gauging developmental milestones with educational sessions such as those which highlight basic hygiene practices.
SMP is very proud of its health fairs & educational sessions, and continues to work with the community to help improve the health of the Kalinago people.
