In addition to thier missions, YCN is working on ongoing shipments of medication medical equipment and medical supplies.The medical supply donations totalling a value of USD$1,162,843.79 will be sent to Dominica once funding for shipping is allocated.The vast majority of patients being treated at mobile clinics which were very effective for individuals unable to access healthcare facilities.
The Organisation is raising funds towards the purchase of at least one mobile clinic van (MCV) to be donated to Dominica with an ultimate goal of having four MCVs available to service district areas such as Marigot-NE, Portsmouth-NW, Roseau-SW, and La Plaine-SE. The MCVs would provide free healthcare to the citizens of Dominica by treating and delivering prescribed medications at the same time of their visit. Not only would the mobile clinic vans allow for the servicing of more persons but they would provide employment for local healthcare staff as well as help overseas volunteer healthcare providers efficiently deliver care for the citizens of Dominica.
YCN has been in contact with investors who are interested in assisting in rebuilding the hurricane-proof hospitals and need the correct point of contacts to help facilitate this project. The investors are informed about the Roseau, Portsmouth and Marigot hospital status. They are very eager to be involved with the government to help facilitate the needs of the country.
The Organation also proposed to add a minor emergency center in the southeastern district, near the River Cyrique area. The closest access to care for the southeastern district is at the Princess Margaret Hospital located in the capital city of Roseau which is a significant and hindering distance away for most.
