IRC Facilitates Mammography Bus Donation in Honduras

What an awesome donation from Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia.  This bus is fully functional and self-containing as a mobile medical and mammography unit.  This unit will be managed and supported by the Fundeih Foundation and the Una Libra de Amor Foundation for outlying regional hospitals that do not have the technology to give breast exams to these rural areas of the country.  This fully capable bus will be staffed by Honduran Radiologist that specialize in mammograms.  It will serve some twenty regional hospitals over the next several years and will be a front-line diagnosis unit for women that would not have had access to these services before.  This donation was made possible by Tom Gillroy of Millennium Health, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, IRC, and the Fundeih Foundation of Honduras.  This bus will be unveiled on the Saturday before Mother’s Day in Tegucigalpa, Honduras by the Honduran Foundations and IRC.
