The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away." Elbert Hubbard.
As a doctor, I would love for a part of my service to work with the Government of Haiti, Multilateral, Bilateral and Non-Governmental Organizations to fight against cancer.
Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death in the Americas. In the year 2005 according to the Pan American Health Organization, approximately 480,000 deaths in Central America and the Caribbean were as a result of cancer. Over the last 40 years, cervical cancer mortality and incidence rates in Latin America and the Caribbean have not declined as significantly as in North America.
Haiti suffers from a shortage of Oncologists, technologies and facilities and funding that will improve the medical services provided in cancer treatment.
It is my firm belief that my contribution as a professional would aid in alleviating the shortage of specialist in the public institutions.
I am prepared to work laborious hours in public hospitals and clinics to benefit the sick in receiving medical attention more readily and efficiently, thus, saving lives and hastening recovery.
Moreover, I will team up with N.G.O's in accessing medication, medical materials, equipment for hospitals and clinics and medical assistance that are not available locally.
I will allocate time to participate in activities that they organize such as health fairs and workshops to educate the population as to the disease and the preventative measures one can take.
Furthermore, give lecturers to organizations and contribute column on health issues in one of the leading newspapers.
I would make a commitment to read the latest advancement in health services and medicine and make subscriptions e to access medical journals from the most reputable sources to keep abreast with the latest advancement and discoveries in the field of Oncology.
My long term goal will be to build a non- profit cancer facility. So that everyone can have fair access to good health care service and facilities.
